Route Summary

Take the farm track, just north of the Inchnadamph Hotel, which runs alongside the River Tralligill. Follow the path to the Tralligill Caves, but stay on the northeast bank. Opposite the caves leave the track and take to the slopes on the southwest face of Beinn an Fhurain. Aim for the obvious col between Beinn an Fhurain and Conival. From the col the final slopes lead to a level ridge and the summit. Continue east along the rough ridge of scree and quartzite boulders to the summit of Ben More Assynt. The summit cairn is on the north top.
