Park in one of the laybys on the road. The initial start of the climb takes you through some soggy and boggy terrain with awkward paths and even more awkward fence crossings. Unfortunately, if you’re not one for enjoying steep, relentless ascents, it doesn't get any better. The climb feels like it will never end with numerous false summits on the approach to the top. If the God’s of the mountain are arguing, be prepared for some brutal weather as this open terrain bares the full force of wind, rain, and snow (depending on weather conditions of course). Nearer the summit the ground underfoot becomes rockier and steeper surrounded by dangerous terrain if the path is lost. Descend off the southern side of Ben More’s summit, traverse the Bealach-eadar-dha Beinn to ascend onto Stob Binnein. Retrace your steps back down to the saddle to descend the western face. Once deep into the Glen, trudge back following the GPX file and path to end up back at the layby.
