The usual route for crossing the ridge is from east to west, beginning the ascent at Allt-na-reigh on the Glencore road up to Am Bodach. It is widely considered to be the most challenging and narrowest horizontal climbing ridge on the British mainland. Some sections are extremely exposed and provide a thrilling and sensational test for passionate scramblers, who will require good navigational, path finding and mountaineering skills.
