Start: Inveruglas car park. (G83 7DP) Grid ref. NN 32266 09871

(S/E) Starting at Inveruglas car park, turn left (South-West) to walk along the path next to the A82.

(1) After 700m take the way-marked track on your right (West) heading uphill and away from the village.

(2) Follow this road for 2.3km (to 155m elevation) at which point turn left (South-West) to cross the Inveruglas Water. Take care not to turn left too early - you want to take the second left, with the first being the route for the Three Lochs Way.

(3) After 500m (at 200m elevation) come off this road onto a hillside trail on your right. It starts off heading West then South-West, uphill on steep ground.

The path then takes a general North-West direction, continuing up very steep hillside, with some scrambling required in places.

(4) The summit is reached at 916m elevation, after lots of false tops. The summit itself is wide and flat - take care in bad visibility not to lose your sense of direction for the descent.

Descend East then South-East via the same route back to Inveruglas car park (S/E)
