Conival, For Sure?

No view, very misty and snowy, but I think I got this one.  Need to return for Ben More Assynt - soon?

Car park at Inchnadamph.  Put the tent up in the dark, probably as well it ain't tourist season!

Car park left behind at the loch side, as the path starts to climb up Gleann Dubh

First glimpse of a bit of the mountain

It was a nice walk up the side of the River Traligill

Next time the cloud lifted and I could at least see where I had been, and spotted a much easier route back down.

Wondered if this was the top?

But I think this is the top really.  You can tell as someone has put their ice axe there!

Possibly the start of the ridge to Ben More Assynt, or certain death?  Either way I decided to turn back at this point.

Another lump of rock I clambered over, just in case it was the top too?

And as I came down, the clouds lifted - why does that happen so much!   Think that's Canisp?

And now even more of Conival is clear.  Oh how unfair!

Some icy slight scrambling.

The way back down, to the right.

Nice walk back out though.

Final view of the hill, note all the cloud cleared from the top!

Watch out, river in a cave!

A last final view for now, until I return to claim Ben More Assynt
