An initial steep ascent along a Zig Zag track for 20-30 minutes brings us to the ridge leading NE to Binn an Choma (424m) and on to Mt Eagle itself (518m). This is a gradual climb with nice peaty ground underfoot, and just one short, but very manageable steep section as we approach Binn an Choma.

Having sampled the amazing views in all directions, we return the way we came and back to the cars.
