The car park below the dam had several cars when I arrived and I met a few folk while on the hill; not crowds, but fairly popular for a Monday. I found some of the signing worrying; was this a safe time to be out on the hill? And wearing red?

After a stretch of track by the dam, I turned left onto eroded paths heading upwards. These started out gradually (this may be an older stretch), but the slope to my right was steep enough to demand attention where I put my feet. The worn paths, in places made up a little with loose rock, soon turn southwards up the slope and zig-zag around over some small burns. Those were OK at the time, but I can see how the route could become very wet and slippery in worse weather.
There's a couple of hundred metres of this before the path eases slightly, then becomes much gentler onto a shoulder of the 888 metre top. There's also a fence line to help guide up to that top, where I paused for a snack, a breather and some snaps, including of the treat ahead.
The fence line and a path lead down across a gentle bealach, then up a modest climb to Sron Chona Chorein. I diverted slightly from the path to visit that munro top, though it isn't dramatic (and the previous top to the north is probably a better viewpoint for the Stuchd). Meall Ghaordaidh shows off its rugged northern side from this direction.
The ridge around to the main Munro top is easy going, with a slight descent before a modestly steep climb for the final peak. This offers views down to the lochan in the corrie below:
And across to Rannoch moor, with a glimpse of Glen Coe beyond.
After a brief break, I returned by more or less the same route. The steep eroded section demands caution and attention to descend, but I found my way back uneventfully.
My map is, as ever, from memory and so approximate.
