Took the 09:33 bus from Kinlochleven and got dropped at Caolasnacon, from there took the track described in other WH reports, initially a bit boggy, up the west ridge. From about 400m this steepened considerably but also dried out, the last pull to the summit was rockier, views were outstanding.continued east down grassy slopes to pt 734where an old fenceline runs across and can be followed till it turns sharply north, then followed the rocky and boggy east ridge down, too far as it turned out, I was too far north, enjoying the view over Kinlochleven, and came to the top of a 20m crag, worked south and came down some steep and slippy ground in the middle of the top photo, coming further south would have been better before continuing the descent. Back on the road OK and a good day had.
