I don't know about the main route up, because we skipped that, and did a spontaneous walk up the north face. The north trail did not take us to the top, but instead to a lookout just below the rugged north rock face. We went in September, and we were sweating in our tshirts and light trousers by the time we made it up. I think we were lucky though, as it was damp, cool and misty before and after our hike. It was our first time in Scotland, and we were told, "Plan for damp cool weather anytime you visit UK. Go somewhere south for a week at the end of your trip." So after our Scottish adventure, which was often cool and damp, we spent the last week of September in Barcelona. That was perfect!
