Garbh Bheinn from Loch Leven

The route starts from the east side of the bridge over the Allt Gleann a'Chaolais, just east of the Caolasnacon camping site.

There is space for 2 or 3 cars to on the west side of the bridge and space for a couple more on the east side.

Regardless of coming from the north or south, the start is most readily accessed from Glencoe Village.

On the eastern side of the bridge a faint wet path starts by the roadside and heads uphill through the grass and some trees. A few paces up, the path joins with tracks made by an ATV.

Follow these tracks for 50m or so, then look for a faint path on your left (perhaps marked by a few stones) heading directly uphill. The path can be incredibly wet, boggy and slippy, but persist !

A minor summit is reached at around 400m and the path continues south-east, ontouring around couple of rises ahead.

A wet bealach is crossed from where the path can be seen making a route through the heather on Garbh Bheinn's steep western slope. Aim up this path, loose in bits to what looks like the summit.

Garbh Bheinn has a few false summits, and this last one is above a landslip giving some dramatic views.

The summit is a few minutes further on, where three small cairns sit overlooking drops down to Kinlochleven to the north and an interesting perspective of the Aonach Eagach's tricky ridge to the south.

Return by the same route, possibly heading south-west from the bealach directly onto the ATV track for a quick jog back to the road.
