About Trollabhal

Trollabhal, also written Trallval, is one of the Rum Cuillin on the island of Rùm in Lochaber. It is the lowest of that southern group, but is widely rated among the finest peaks in the range.

Reaching the top involves a narrow arête of bare rock, and scrambling is needed on both ridges.

Finding the summit

east summit (NM 37790 95165) is lower.

The recorded summit point is rock in turf. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
