Other routes and challenges

The bogs on the above approach can be avoided by using the tracks further up the north side of Loch Affric and then taking the stalkers' path uphill from near the head of the loch.

The hill can be used as part of a long approach to Sail Chaorainn and Sgùrr nan Conbhairean from the north.
