Parking - 4 cars worth, more 5-10mins walk.
path easy to track, boggy at start then steeper, fence posts to follow higher up. loose scree under feet.

route up garbh bheinn (no gpx but screenshot of rough track) unbelievably steep, loose rocks, crawling at points, safe but tough going. views from garbh bheinn amazing! rocky path and steep way down, easy path to track throughout, boggier last 300m.

expected 3hrs 20. took 4hrs 40 but with slower walker. expect an extra 20-30mins total to your usual time due to slow nature of scree throughout
