This was a Scottish Midweek Mountaineering Club meet at Inchnadamph. Dropped the bike at the Bone Cave car park and continued driving to the Inchnadamph car park. Headed up Glen Dubh, following the approch for Conival, then found a way over to the Cape Wrath Trail, which is becoming quite defined, and continued up to the col between Conival and Breabag. Found a nice grassy ramp that allowed easy progress up to pt 649, then it was pretty rocky across shattered quartzite to pt 718m. Then continued across rocky ground with, at one point a climb down and back up a 3m deep fissure across the whole hillside, to the col before the summit lump. From the col it was easy enough to follow mostly grassy areas to the summit. Returned to the col and followed the burn down to pick up the Bone Caves path, down to the car park, and a quick cycle along the road to Inchnadamph.

Excellent little Corbett, my first ever. I came down the same way as you. Loads of deer at the col, and great coastal views.
