Highpoint of a very noticeable area of rocky peaks passed on the A9 between Newtonmore and Dalwhinnie. A lower top has a signalling mast for the railway, but the summit is so far unmarked save for a trig point. At a glen junction, the views are rather good, especially up the Spey, and down onto the woodlands around the old Wade Road by Phones. A new development is that the area to the south of the summit is now planted with scots pine and fenced. Easier aproaches are from the the north, a quick and pleasantly rough ascent from the single track road along the south side of the Spey between Laggan and the A9. |
