This Saturday's trip took us 12 miles down Glen Etive almost to the pier. The morning sun was indeed
shining on the Etive slabs just as indicated in the Corbett book ! We parked just opposite the edge
of the trees and took the faint path towards the low point of the NE ridge. A steep pull up the
ridge soon brought its reward in fantastic views all round. The most spectacular point is the cairn
at 767m where a few steps takes you to the edge of the precipice overlooking Loch Etive ~ What a
viewpoint. The drop off the 767 point is an easy fun scramble over slabby granite and was over all
too soon. ( could be interesting descending this part in the mist as a few degrees out will ring a
very sudden drop ! ) A short stroll SW soon brought us to the real summit and after adding a few
inches to the well built cairn we simply turned and retraced our steps. A super little mountain for
a short day
