Detailed route description and map
Other routes and challenges
A longer route crossing rougher ground and requiring more experience starts from the Loch Turret dam. Use the track up the east side of the loch, eventually making for Lochan Uaine. From here aim north at first, avoiding broken crags, before crossing the plateau to the summit. The return can be made over Meall na Seide and Carn Chois; see trip reports below.
