In conversations with Scottish mountain enthusiasts, the seven Munros that can be climbed in a single hike often come up quickly. Nowhere else can you ascend so many of the famous Scottish summits with so little mileage. Due to the generally easy route and the few places where you need to use your hands, this route is also very popular with trail runners. The constant ups and downs demand a lot from the hiker, as over 1800 meters of elevation and 28 kilometers have to be covered throughout the day.

We then follow the still very visible path slightly to the right and reach the Allt Mhalagain river. We can cross it here at low water and turn left at a fork after the river (not above the river through the deer fence gate) or follow the path a bit uphill to a bridge. West of the Allt Mhalagain, we now ascend through initially somewhat marshy terrain, always parallel below the deer fence to our right. The distance to the deer fence soon increases, and shortly afterward it swings north away; from here we hike in a small zig-zag steeper uphill, crossing smaller tributaries more often. After the ford over a watercourse formed from two smaller streams, our path leads clearly in switchbacks (at a cairn, we stay left on the broader path) through rocky terrain uphill to Bealach Duibh Leac. There we also see an old wall that
