Whether or not you visit the W summit you should now retrace your steps down the wall and follow it as it veers left down steep rocky slopes. The wall disintegrates into a line of fence posts and you should continue down between the fence posts and a second wall. When the wall and fence posts rejoin, on a slight rise, turn right down to the saddle S of An Stac (5hr 15min, 565m, 76190 78500). Pick a route up the S ridge. In good visibility it should be possible to climb up grass slopes avoiding the many crags to reach the small cairn on a rock outcrop on the summit of An Stac (5hr 55min, 814m, 76300 79270).

You now need to wind your way carefully down grassy rakes through the crags on the steep rocky N ridge of An Stac to reach a broad saddle (485m, 76500 80000). It would be possible to continue over Seann Chruach, but it’s quicker to descend ENE down grass slopes to a vehicle track (at about 250m, 77200 80300) running down the glen. Turn left following the boggy track to the top of the stalker’s path (120m, 77700 81420), which is followed back to the parking area (7hr 40min).
