Nice day's round trip from the northern car park, up one of the valley-bounding ridges to Beinn nan Eachan, along the very fun Tarmachan Ridge, then back along the other valley bounding ridge. No real difficulties except for the well-known scrambling on Meall Garbh. It is sloping holds, which are not nice. In wet weather, I'd put effort into bypassing it - I don't like sloping muddy holds.
All in all, a nice route incorporating a justly popular ridge section. In hindsight, I'd add on route to the top of Creag na Caillich. The wife repeatedly asked me if this was or was not a Munro, and putting only one Munro on this excellent and well-sculpted ridge, with a significant hazard en route ... shows the arbitrary nature of the process. Madness ; nice madness, but madness nonetheless.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
