"Though dwarfed by the higher peaks around it, Beinn Mhic Chasgaig concedes nothing to its grander neighbours. This very steep hill is well defended by craggy slopes. The ascent here approaches along a dramatic gorge. The route involves a crossing of the Allt Coire Ghiubhasan which may be impossible in spate."

Description
Source: https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fortwilliam/beinn-mhic-chasgaig.shtml
Steep, boggy and off the beaten path (mostly), much like the rest of the lesser hiked mountains around Beinn Mhic Chasgaig. Apart from the flashy tourist cars going by at the carpark, don't expect to see many humans on this particular hike.
This hike and guide was completed during summer weather conditions.

Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
Medium Exposure
The trail contains some obstacles such as outcroppings and rock which could cause injury.
