Easy Ben Donich
Details
7.5 k 580m 2.5 hrs
Ben Donich is a popular neighbour to the Arrochar Alps, usually climbed from a parking area high near the Rest and Be Thankful pass. The ascent is short and reasonably straightforward with a slight scramble descent before the summit.
With a high-level start point, a direct path and fine views, Ben Donich makes an excellent objective for a shorter hillwalk. There is a little rocky ground with a slight scramble down before the summit to add a little character.
TERRAIN
There is a fairly good path for most of the ascent, though it is not continuous on the summit plateau. There is some rocky ground with a short easy scramble at one point. Deep cleft-like cavities beside the path could become a trap when covered in snow.
