βeta: We opted to go up the ‘horrendous’ heather approach: I remember it being like bush whacking but don’t recall it being overly dangerous but probably would try descending in if I did it again as I’m much older and I would like to do it again as it was an amazing climb!

βeta: Echo the comments that best to stay on the summit track and descent to the start of the route, unless you like HVG climbing and climbing choss/ heather (which I do, and was quality type-2 fun tbf)

βeta: In a different league of seriousness to classic mountain Severes like January Jigsaw. The guidebook is not kidding when it says the approach up ledge 3 is horrendous. Anyone for 200m of Weetabix and vertical heather? The gangway is a superb, awesomely exposed pitch but it's a very serious undertaking to get to it. If I was doing the route again I'd walk up the decent walkers path up from the glen then rap down the wide, grassy gully to the start. It'd be safer and more pleasant.
