One of Scotland's most distinctive mountains, a long approach across Assynt's scattered lochans before a steep pull to a narrow summit ridge with a scramble section known as the Bad Step. A serious full day for fit, experienced walkers in stable weather, not a spur-of-the-moment outing.
Iconic remote Corbett/Graham, long serious walk-in; robust well-known mountain, remote/exposed caveat applies.
Glencanisp Lodge car park, Lochinver (or Elphin/Inverkirkaig alternative starts).
Long approach track (~7km) before the steep final pull to the ridge.
