zp Dec 2021 12:02pm, 31 Dec 2021 634 posts	0 zp K5 Gus, good question but not one I can answer, Zp might be the person who can? It is a good question. Unfortunately, I did from Sgurr Elide Mor summit to Loch Trieg on sight when I did my round, so I can't compare the two approaches. I took a line very similar to JK, and I found it frustratingly slow: tussocky and wet and definitely no path. I think a few contenders aim a bit further West, higher up the Abhainn Rath - maybe the going is a bit quicker there, even though it's further? If I ever look to do another round, I'd at least want to recce dropping down to the track and then up to Luibelt, it's possibly (for me) a bit quicker.
