With KW. Up path by GM Tail to Loch Skeen then up Mid Craig (good path) to the main ridge. Cold wind, sunny intervals, surprising amount of snow high up, a little squally. Thick mist on summit. Line of fence misleading. Summit is marked inaccurately on the OS Landranger map making a compass bearing unreliable.
