Schiehallion

As Munros go, this is a fairly easy one to bag - there's a car park right at the bottom and a path most of the way up, although the summit is rocky and can be slippery. It's a good hill to do when you may only have half a day or so, and need to get back to Manchester.



An easy route in theory, bad weather can make it missery. Two previous club attempts have failed, both in November. The 2004 attempt suffered from a completly frozen path, forcing the group to turn back due to a few of the party not carrying crampons (grr!). In 2006 one (early) group managed the whole route, with blizzard conditions from half way up, whilst the second (later) group turned back.
