Richard Webb: Hard going but loved every minute of the magical forest. I really like the pine forest hills (Alvie, Ghiubhsachain etc) and this is the best yet. Another world! Saw tracks in the snow, including skis, how did anyone get up that on skis? Route was straight up from the forest road network near Dog Falls. No opposition from the trees, but rough underfoot. Strange trig point, a relict of the Hydro. It's a metal pole on top of one of the teeth on this aptly named hill.
Rob Woodall: Amazingly wild, the only signs of humankind being the Cape Wrath road, two masts near the A838, a few sheep at one spot, some flattened grass where an ATV had passed, a few cairns, two trigs, and odd signs related to the military (but no red flags). The view of An Grianan from the red sand beach of Loch a'Phuill Bhuidhe is astonishing - a concave slope topped out with an outsize conglomerate cap. Terrain not bad, allowing a circuit of the eight Marilyns, subbie and a Yeaman in under nine hours. Great country, well worth an annual visit at least.
Rob Woodall: Ace hill even in rain and hail. Scrambled up, found path down steep grassy gully. No cairn - no room, no need.
Richard Webb: The best small hill I have ever climbed, with a scramble up to a rocky summit from one of the great beaches. Best of all it was done at Easter when Colonsay put out a big (disinfected) welcome mat. Three cheers for this friendly island.
