Routes and maps

Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig from Dalrigh

Other routes and challenges

Climbing all four Munros of the group offers a long but manageable day, usually done as a traverse from Dalrigh to Glen Lochay.

A track climbs high on the southern side of the mountain from Gleann nan Caorann, but this side of the hill makes for an unattractive approach.
