Climbing the South Ridge from Inverlochlarig
From the A84 at Kingshouse near Lochearnhead, follow the minor road through Balquhidder past Loch Voil and Loch Doine to its end. Start from the Inverlochlarig car park and walk the track past Inverlochlarig farm, crossing the burn to join the track up the glen. Leave it on a bumpy ridge to dodge the worst bog, then climb pathless grass through a fence gate and past broken crags to a clearer path on the upper ridge. Class 2. Usually paired with Cruach Ardrain along the connecting ridge. Lower slopes stay wet after rain, and the summit ridge is exposed to wind. Return the same way or via the col.
