About Ben Hope
Ben Hope stands alone in the far north of Sutherland, above Loch Hope and the glen of Strath More. It is the most northerly Munro, and a Marilyn. Its western side forms a line of steep crags, and the summit sits on a long ridge above them. Meall nan Con on Ben Klibreck, the nearest higher hill, lies 22.9 km to the south-east.
The usual route starts on the road through Strath More, south of Loch Hope, at a small car park near Alltnacaillich. A path climbs beside the gorge of the Allt na Caillich and then up the grassy slope to a break in the crags. From there the south ridge leads north to the summit.
