"Parking at the car park north of Ribigill, south of Tongue, we took the track past the farm and over the moor, crossing the Allt Lon Malmsgaig west of Cunside. A boggy path led up to the flat Bealach Clais nan Ceap. A steep pathless ascent followed up the eastern flank of the mountain, which seemed to get more vertical the higher we went.

A short easy scramble brought us to the top of the Sgor, where care was needed to stay upright in the wind-blast. Returning to the path across the plateau, we passed over Sgor a'Bhatain and onwards to the huge tor that is the summit of this complex mountain. Progress towards it was slow, as the gale force wind, gusting at times, made for a slow difficult hike.
