For the scambles, the time given in the information box reflects scrambling time only; approach time is provided separately.

Seasonal notes

Due to the large variation in climate and mountain conditions during the year, the routes are accompanied by seasonal notes where relevant. These include potentially difficult or dangerous sections for the winter hill walker, as well as the location of suitable water sources during the long, hot summer months.

Route descriptions

Unless otherwise stated, the route descriptions assume summer conditions. That is, that there is no snow affecting the route, and that there are high temperatures with light winds and clear visibility. Allowance should be made accordingly for any bad weather or winter conditions.

It is assumed that the reader has a good level of navigational and map reading competence – thus not every twist and turn of the path is described; just the major points of navigational and directional importance. However, in the route description, places or features along the way that are highlighted in bold correlate with those shown on the route map, to aid navigation.
