This 3,028-foot (923 m) summit is the first hikers reach on the Tarmachan Ridge traverse. In reality, it's little more than a knoll in Meall nan Tarmachan's south ridge but it gives glorious views east across Lochan na Lairige towards the great bulk of the Lawers Group and to the dramatic cliffs of Cam Chreag to the west. The Tarmachan Ridge traverse is a popular route thanks to its interesting, rocky terrain, sweeping views and the added bonus of a very high car park start point.
