Climbed after the driest July on record, but still some boggy patches where the path can tend to get lost. Otherwise very easy to follow. Set off from Luss n fine weather, but steady drizzle most of the way, and a bit of a downpour at the top. The summit is undistinguished, though there's a decent cairn. The main downside is that it's pretty relentless - not super-steep, but very few sections where you can stride out confidently. Also, lots of 'false hope' horizons! Main upside is the view back over Loch Lomond, which is everything you expect and more - really sensational!
Returned the same way I went up, because of shortage of time.
