This is the main route traversing Ben More (Isle of Mull) which is the highest peak on the isle of Mull located on the eastern side and the only munro on the island. The route takes in the peak A'Chioch which is to the connected to the east of Ben More by a sharp, knife-edge arête wich requires some simple scambling (Can be avoided by path on the left) and descent is by the north-western ridge which is the tourist route both up & down. The route starts at sea level has a large ascent elevation but worth the effort.
Ben More is a popular hill and on a pleasant day you'll find on the north-western descent section plenty of tourists plodding up the good path leading to Dhiseig.
