Staying at Invercoe campsite for a couple of nights and took the chance to run up the munro overlooking from the end of the Aonach Eagach ridge, just along from the Pap of Glencoe, I had been up the Pap a couple of times and this looked interesting with hopefully some views to the famous ridge it sat at the end of. A mile or so of trails to the start of the climb, a series of steep ramps with a few flatter runnable bits in between, another hot sunny day, a welcome cooling breeze eventually kicked in about half way up. the same path to the two hills splits at a large cairn, the path to the munro twists and turns through scree and rocks, arriving at the top visible from below reveals another couple of higher tops along the ridge, mostly runnable as long as you don't look at the views. Sheltered behind a large circular cairn at the top , views along the ridge, across the glen to the Bidean massive, on the other side the Mamores with Nevis and CMD sitting behind. Turned to start the run back and stunning views down Loch Leven to the Ballachulish Bridge and surrounding hills opens up. Took it easy on the descent, steep, rocky and gritty good training for Nevis in a couple of weeks.
