For the uninitiated this is a tough climb!! We started at Succoth car park and took the steep anticlockwise route up. Conditions were wet and windy. You need all the gear for this one! Nice descent. Walked to the Village Inn in Arrrochar for lunch and beers after and I’d fully recommend

Bit more challenging than I was expecting but a great climb none the less, some scrambling is necessary and those with an aversion to heights may not be suited to this Ben. Unfortunately on the day we went up there was alot of cloud cover so couldn't see much at the peak but still well worth it.
