Itinerary description
This exciting walk combines part of the well know Bernia Circuit route with the ascent of the west summit. Our version of this walk starts at the Bernia Restaurant. Although a shorter walk than our Bernia West Summit Circuit, this walk spends more time walking the ridge and requires a bit more care and skill. Part of the way (from A to B on map) is very rough steep scree.
The best way across the ridge to the west summit is waymarked. The ridge traverse is exciting and involves a few interesting scrambles, the toughest of which are now made easier with the aid of chains and ropes. Reaching the summit is rewarded with extensive views and a sense of accomplishment. The descent, however, is not a walk in the park. It requires more scrambling with chain and rope followed by a steep, often loose surfaced path (more scree) back down to the Fort.
