This was my first Munro (Scottish mountain over 3,000 feet) and a great climb. The trail is well maintained and doable for any reasonably fit person with good knees. The views were Spectacular, loved it!

I did a bigger walk from the campsite on the opposite side of the loch. The trail up is steep and manageable but has got some hands on stone about 3 /4 way in. Plenty of breaks got me to the top. The actual summit is a lot easier than the previous mentioned hands on part. I say this as a 59 year old so you may have an easier time.
