Views from this hill are stunning. Finally the one that got away...a straight up and down from Rhigolter via the Cioch Mhor. Oh so steep! | sarahk | 22/07/2023 |

29/10/2022	A day of good weather and fabulous views. Usual route from Carbreck, checking stalking had finished. Good path to the below the Corrie lip then a fairly easy walk across to the steep climb to the bealach. Quartz was greasy in ascent to Cranstackie but drier to Spionnaidh. With NP and JK. MT followed to Cranstackie. | kenmorti | 29/10/2022 |
Sunny and dry with a light breeze, good for late October. Cracking views , from Point of Stoer, Lewis, Balnakeil, to Orkney and the Kyle of Tongue. Via Rhigolter Farm up rough Corrie to bealach. Two well situated peaks. With K,M, J. | niallp | 29/10/2022 |

From Carbreck, to bealach and up Cranstackie. Back to bealach as mist and rain descended. Up south-east ridge to rocky plateau and on to summit. Tanya struggled a bit in the wind, very gusty. Returned to end of plateau by cairn and descended north-west to Cloch Mhor, then south-west to path out of Coire Calbhach. | Flatfield | 20/06/2022 |

Solo. Cycle from Carbreck to Rhigolter. On foot to col and the top of Cranstackie, return to col and up to summit. High winds made the boulder field quite difficult to traverse. Descent via NW ridge to Cioch Mhor | John Lee | 07/09/2021 |

Not a brilliant day, a lot of it in the cloud which meant I lost the line coming down Cranstackie but ho harm done. On usual access track past the farm buildings and roughly followed the stream. Cut off south well before the bealach which was not a good idea as it meant a lot of untrodden boulder slope as I approached the top of Cranstackie (C); - stick to the bealach approach. Crossing over the bealach had a good sighting of a Golden Eagle before going up Beinn Spionnaidh (C). Even in cloud found my way easily to the NW ridge and down. | dickscroop | 05/08/2019 |
Climbed with Richard on Elphin DMC trip. Bit windy start and overcast, but the weather improved as the day progressed. Off to Ullapool after for more Corbett bagging | amcculloch | 16/06/2019 |

With trimarc2. Saw a golden eagle. Beautifully clear day - could see out to Orkney. On way to Cranstackie. | Fionalevey | 10/05/2019 |
With Fiona usual route. Some loose boulders on top. Excellent hill | trimarc2 | 10/05/2019 |
From Carbreck past Rhigolter. Steep but good ground to about the 700m contour, then large awkward sometimes wobbly boulders. | Owen B | 25/04/2019 |

Usual route with late start. | justin999 | 25/06/2018 |
Cycled up to Rhigolter then round of Spionnaidh and Cranstackie in hazy sunshine. Boulder field prevalent above 700m, even the larger boulders are not always stable. | Topographer57 | 30/05/2018 |
