Ben More Assynt and
Conival are two mountains connected by a high ridge and consequently climbed
together. Ben More Assynt is the more complex of the two with two tops linked
by a narrow rocky ridge. From the north top, ridges run west to Conival and north-east
curving south-south-east around Coire Reidh. From the South Top (960m) a ridge
continues south to Carn nan Conbhairean after which the slopes become easier
allowing a return via Dubh Loch Mor through the narrow bealach between Conival
and Breabag Tarsuinn to Gleann Dubh.
