The climb up Conic Hill is the first serious climb on the WHW. Take your time, and it won't be so difficult. At the top, there are more steps leading all the way up. I prefer not to climb the steps all the way to the summit, but rather to turn right a little earlier onto the hill facing Loch Lomond. It's a great place to take a break without being completely surrounded by crowds. It's a bit windy up there, though.
