Did Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan from Camban bothy on 19 Dec 2007. Left bothy at 8:00 am, cold and clear, contoured round to allt gleann gniomhaidh. Lung busting hike up to point 910, left some gear here then 35 minutes to summit. Amazing views in all directions, pin sharp to horizon, sat here for 1 hour, reluctant to leave. Got cramp just before picking gear up, made me realise i was a long way from anywhere. Reached bothy at 3:30 pm. An easy 12 km round trip from the bothy and 900 to 1000 mtrs of ascent. River could be tricky in spate and the ridge between the West top and main summit would be interesting under snow and ice.Camban bothy is weatherproof, but one half of upper floor has no floorboards and is unusable. Also the mice are very active.
