I crossed here in April 2024. I can't imagine the land being any wetter, it has rained for months. The river was high.
I was concerned the river would be impassable and was delighted to find a perfect crossing point. On a line directly from meanach Bothy to the ruin. Grid NN264 684. I crossed easily.

An unavoidable river crossing when riding a lap of the Ben. It was pretty high when we crossed (late September) and quite fast flowing. I'm not sure I found the best spot, I just sort of went for it (and fell in!). My companions managed to get a lot less wet than I did but it was still nearly waist deep at times. Good fun but be careful when the river is high.

River is very deep in some sections so pick the crossing a little further up, will have to roll up your trousers if your wearing them
