Starting at Glen Rosa campsite, this hillwalk heads up Glen Rosa to the Garbh Allt. After the steep climb the path levels out over peat flats before ascending steeply to Beinn Nuis 792m.
Countinuing the path by Flat Iron Tower make our way to Beinn Tarsuinn 826m, the first of the two corbetts.
Desending down past Consolation Tor to Bealach Fhir-bhogha and bypass below A’ Chir rather than heading along it.
Also bypass Cir Mhor, before ascending sharply to Caisteal Abhail 859m, the second corbett of the day and the second-highest after Goatfell.
The descent along Sail an Im 508m, is straightforward then descent down to the North Glen Sannox burn and finished at the Glen Sannox carpark.
Total distance 16.75 km
Total Height gain 1260 meter
