Climbing the Cam Bhealach and North Ridge
From Spean Bridge, drive north on the A82 to Laggan Locks and take the minor road along the east shore of Loch Lochy to the Kilfinnan road end, parking before the farm. Follow the Great Glen Way through forestry, then a path climbs through the trees to the Cam Bhealach. Head south up a steep worn path, skirt Meall Dubh and gain the broad north ridge to the summit (Class 1). Usually paired with Sron a' Choire Ghairbh from the same bealach. The path round Meall Dubh is boggy, and the exposed ridge catches strong gusts. Citylink buses stop at Laggan Locks on the A82.
