This is the first time I have approached this hill from the Loch Monar side, far far better than the slog up the road from Glen Carron.
Some impressive views of the remote Lurg Mhor, I have done Lurg Mhor from the Bearnais side, but seeing the impressive eastern ridge I am needing to get back, but without a boat I am not sure how to achieve this, maybe Killilan - Iron Lodge - Pait lodge, do the hill then down to Bothy Bearnais then back out to Killilan via river Ling. A tough 35 mile!
I looked at that route for future reference when I climbed the Corbett An Sidhean. I have to agree it is a far superior route than coming in from the north. The only downside is access to Strathfarrar between April and October when the Gateman is working.
