| Walk description
Tackling Goatfell from Corrie rather than the main path from Brodick means the steep sections are interspersed with flatter terrain to allow you to catch your breath. However before the main summit, we’ll be heading first to North Goatfell via the good path from Corrie into Coire Lan. A steep climb up the head of the corrie leads to the col between Mullach Buidhe and North Goatfell and the first close up views of Arran’s northern crags. Once on North Goatfell, a decision is to be made: to take either the less exposed route skirting the jumble of granite tors that is Stacach ridge, or to tackle the ridge direct. It will depend on the conditions on the day but both are exciting! From here a short steep climb gains Goatfell itself. Enjoy the elevating feeling of standing on the highest point of the island and the stunning 360° views of Arran and beyond.
