HAZARDS & OPTIONS

Know the commitment.

  • The upper glen is rough, pathless mountain ground requiring confident navigation.
  • Steep grass and rock may be slippery after rain.
  • Cloud can remove the shape of the glen and ridge very quickly.
  • The route reaches high, exposed ground where wind may be much stronger than at the start.
Conservative retreat guidance

The recorded route returns along the approach line. Turn back early along known ground if cloud, wind or footing deteriorates, and avoid improvised descents from the high slopes.

No line shown here should be treated as a guaranteed emergency escape route.
