| With Jill Robertson. RHSoc Mull meet | HFB | 26/03/2023 |
| From Beinn Chreagach to top in perfect weather with views over Colonsay to Islay and Jura. Onwards to Cnocan Buidhe. | lordtonult | 03/05/2022 |
| Parked opposite the start of the track to the sheepfold. Along the track, across the stream, then up the ATV track to the R. Goes almost to the Beinn Creagach plateau. Nice summit, good views from both tops. Tried descent to wall below, nah, it ends in a crag, so detour W, deer tracks to cross the boggy areas and up to cliff edge, deer tracks via Aoineadh Mor, past the waterfall, then up steep, easy grass to plateau of Creachan Mor. Back same way, then cliff path, which degenerates into deer tracks that take you too low below Sron nam Boc, so back up to rejoin the real path at the waterfall. A lot of effort for 2 mini-Marilyns. | Gill | 25/06/2021 |
| Walked long the base of the cliffs from Carsaig to the arches, then steeply up the very eroded gully to the top of the cliffs by Binnein Ghorrie. Rough walk back north in high winds and worsening conditions | Rockdoctor | 20/08/2020 |
| From Nuns Pass following Beinn Chreagach. Lovely cliff line approach before turning up the final rise after the lochan. Returned to car on Carsaig road via high cliff walk and ATV track to Cnoc a’Bhragaid. | N.Morters | 15/03/2020 |
| Parked above Feorlin and followed old track down to Feorlin. Then along shore and up Nun's Pass to summit. Back via Beinn Chreagach. | PGCE | 22/02/2020 |
| Round of Creagach and Creachan Mor from Carsaig road HP. Back along top of 250m sea cliff, good deer tracks and good ground, awesome sea views but however clear the weather, look where you are going! | Topographer57 | 29/09/2019 |
| Over tussocky terrain from Beinn Chreagach. Back via Cnocan Buidhe and Nuns Pass. | NormanW | 13/07/2018 |
| Left car in one of several gaps behind passing places at around NM533226. With Mike. Walked along road to shore line and then proceeded along shoreline path to Carsaig Arches (well worth visiting). From the first arch we made a rising traverse north eastwards to around NM498189 where there is an obvious weakness in the cliffs to the right of a small pinnacle in a shallow gully. By walking into the shallow gully and scrambling up moist slabs exit can be made onto a ledge which deposits you on steep grassy slopes above the cliffs between lochans at NM499190 and NM498190. Ascended to Creachan Mor. Traversed across sometimes soft and tussocky ground directly to Beinn Chreagach and then returned via Cnoc a Bhragad to the road and the starting point. | raffemeister | 16/04/2016 |
| Great walk,pity about the many showers. I also could not see the arches. They must be closer to the cliffs than I was able to see. | tallblond | 02/06/2015 |
| Up here with Jim F on a typical Mull weather day. | Alex C | 01/06/2015 |
| From Carsaig: see Cnocan Buidhe | RHW | 31/05/2015 |
| With SG & PM. Failed to find a viable way down to Carsaig arches after visiting summit but hit the cliffs too far E according to RW. | Smudge | 31/05/2015 |
| Climbed from a camp on the Dearg Bhealach. | Chris Peart | 05/05/2015 |
| With Jenx, parked on minor road near to track at NM532229, room for one car at 200m. At end of rough track ATV continues up to @ 270m, strike up hill to summit over several tops. Continued on to Creachan Mor via Cnocan Buidhe. Low point is soft but passable, some deep pools to avoid. Both M's have good craggy features. Back along cliffs to Nun's Pass, easy steep descent to coast path followed with interest to Carsaig, where cut across fields to raod then followed to car. | nordicstar | 27/04/2015 |
| With Alfie. We climbed Binnein Ghorrie (277m) too. | Dangerous Dave | 21/02/2015 |
| Parked Cnoc a Bhraghad, along track that gradually disappeared and then delightful trek above cliffs towards summit with eagles soaring overhead and lots of deer in the distance. Back via Chreagach. | AndrewFinnimore | 17/06/2014 |
| Second Marilyn on a cool and windy morning with hale showers with Jim Bloomer. | Dugswell2 | 29/04/2013 |
| Second hill, rained as we approached summit, windy visibility 20 metres. Soaked all the way home. | iangalbraith | 09/09/2012 |
| From B Creagach. Obvious and old looking cairn on summit. However the best bit is the cliffs which are well worth exploring. I decided to stay on the cliff top rather than the shoreline for the return to start. Lots of sea eagles. | Martin R | 20/04/2012 |
| From Carsaig | BLACKHILL | 28/04/2011 |
| MC JC DS DC. From Carsaig to Carsaig Arches and up through cliffs. | Martin66 | 03/01/2009 |
| On final day of New Year week in Tobermory. With Martin66, JC & Shaky from Carsaig, followed the coastal path along to the Carsaig Arches. Then back E to the first major burn & followed that up steeply through the cliffs using the natural line of weakness. Wandered over to the summit & then back along the top of the cliffs picking up the path. Bagged Beinn Chreagach with Shaky & then continued NE to the road just SE of Cnoc a'Bhraghad. If you want to see the Arches & bag the Marilyns too, this is the way to do it: it's not at all obvious how to descend to the Arches from above. | NotReallyABagger | 05/01/2007 |
| From Carsaig. Path crossed policies with 3 streams. Narrow path on extreme edge of grass, slow progress. Vole. Mist. Very, very steep clamber up on all fours over greeny grassy bracken and heather slope for 600' to cliff edge. Path in mist by old fence posts on cliff edge and compass aimed at first hill. GPS was not working, with wet inside. After 20 minutes found cairn on highest point. 13.15. to Chreagach | arranc | 31/08/2006 |
| Round of Creachan Mor and Cruachan Min from Gleann Airigh na Searsain navigating through mist down to sea level by compass and identifying lochans. | Eddie | 09/07/2005 |
| fine hill, spectacular clifftop setting; desparate tussocks link to B Creagach. 532233 Cnoc a' Bhraghad pass; 2 Marilyns, back along clifftop | RHW | 30/04/2000 |
| With Yeltzbager. Caught bus to Bunessan. Rained all the way there. Sun came out when we got off and perfect weather then for the rest of the week. | Stevie n Tay | 21/04/1984 |
| With Stevie n Tay at start of wonderful backpacking trip round Mull. Sunshine every day. Rained all the way on the bus to Bunessan and stopped as we got off. | Yeltzbagger | 21/04/1984 |
