A long ridge on a relatively low-lying hill, which provides superb clambering with only mild exposure and occasional jeopardy for its entire length. The real selling point here, though, is the location – the views across Assynt’s remote and gnarly hillscape are an ongoing distraction. If the exposure gets your head spinning, it’s easy enough to drop down to the walkers’ path just north of the crest. Turn it into a horseshoe by continuing on via The Fiddler (Sgurr an Fhidhleir).
