Ben Avon (pronounced 'Aan') is most commonly ascended as an epilogue to a day on Beinn à Bhuird, simply ascending from the Sneck (the col between the two mountains),to briefly stand on the summit tor then descend again.
No-one can truly claim to have climed Ben Avon until they have tackled it from the north-east, from Tomintoul or Corgarff, and thus experienced the full breadth of its huge summit plateau and the dozens of wierdly sculpted tors located there.
