further details below-

an excellent relatively short, nearby introduction to scottish winter mountaineering on a small "alpine like" peak
The days plan is to leave the visitor centre car park at 10.00 walk past the power station and using the walk highland route ascend the private road up towards sloy dam. approx 2k before the dam we turn left onto the forestry track. after a further half k we leave the track and heading north west up the shoulder of the mountain, eventually after a few bits of scrambling reaching the peak.
the descent is by the same route or hopefully perhaps by an alternative route depending on conditions.
