Though not a Munro in its own right, Am Bodach is often climbed by default on the way to scramble the Aonach Eagach. The 3,094-foot (943 m) peak offers beautiful views down Glencoe. A well trodden path leads up Am Bodach from the road. The downclimb to the northwest of the summit is one of the technical cruxes of the Aonach Eagach traverse.

A stunning place to be in the right conditions, especially in winter on a sky blue day. A winter traverse of the ridge takes this route into a winter grade 3 category. Please only attempt it if you have the relative experience and equipment.
