    A magnificent view, worth the climb. Simple stone steps can be found at the particularly steep sections. These sections are a bit challenging on the descent, but manageable with good shoes and a little patience.

      You can always do the quick and easy from Glenmore Lodge, but the really nice views you will only have taking the woodland path to the Ryvoan Bothy and taking the trail up to the top from there. The views back towards the bothy and over to Cairngorm are magnificient on a good day (and as everyone else is doing the quick and easy, you'll have them likely for yourself ;-)

        A 360° view from the peak, best view across all of the Cairngorms. Steep hike across uneven rocks and rubble path, but so worth it on a good day.
