3rd Of 5 Corbett’s after Beinn Odhar and Beinn Chaorach.PeterD06/06/2023
Beinn Chaorach, Cam Chreag and CC South Top from Auchtertyre. Along the track under the railway, past the shielings to the top opf the zig-zags, up BC's south ridge, across the bealach on a small path south of the peat hags, and along the toplets running South from CC as far as the one beyond the lochan east of the South Top. I descended WSW to arrive at the initially very marshy track along Gleann a'Chlachain at around 368333.Nick Down118/09/2022
From the A82 layby for a round of Beinn Challuim South Top, Cam Chreag and Beinn Chaorach.rhalstead16/09/2022
Clockwise round of Beinn Odhar, Beinn Chaorach and Cam Chreag, starting in the dark from the Dalrigh car park (just off the A82 partway up between Crianlarich and Tyndrum). Walked the WHW to Tyndrum and onwards over the railway bridge to head up Beinn Odhar. From Beinn Odhar, nearly a 500m drop down into Glen Cumhang, and a ~400m steep pathless re-ascent up Beinn Chaorach. However, after that, a fairly easy going ascent over to Cam Chreag finished the main ascents for the day - down to Glen Clachain and out via the track (initially quite wet). Good wee day out on the Tyndum hills - total time 6h 5min.mproudfoot06/09/2022

Pleasant broad ridge with easy gradients from Beinn Chaorach. Then returned via steep grassy slopes to Glen Coralan reaching the excellent track on the south east side, under the railway bridge, then a rough path westwards to the WHW, and back to the car at the col on th A82.Owen B22/05/2021

A beautifully sunny last day of the decade drew us to Strath Fillan. Did Beinn Chaorach and Cam Chreag from the wigwams and yurts of Auchtertyre - up the former from the Shieling village and down the latter via Coreheynan. Lovely walk, lovely company, lovely post-hike cafe in the former St Fillan's church. Here's to 2020 and more days like this!summitter31/12/2019

The 5 Corbetts from the summit of the A82 between Tyndrum and the Bridge of Orchy. Beinn Odhar, Beinn Chaorach, Cwm Chreag, Beinn nam Fuaran, and Beinn a' Chaisteil. A major undertaking in one day, being 27km with 2150m ascent, taking 9h30m.silveracorn_alan20/08/2017
Round of Odhar, Chaorach and Cam Chreag. Hot day (24c), great visibility.Roblex24/07/2017
From Beinn Chaorach.Winterfloodian20/07/2017
A glorious day's bagging of 3 Corbetts from Tyndrum. Clear views, sunny and a cool breeze. Beinn Odhar is easily the best of the 3 hills, a fine pointy cone, but Beinn Chaorach and Cam Chreag are also very fine. Perfect easy going, even on the steep ups and downs. I went out to the end of the Cam Chreag ridge (just in case of future resurveys), and this gives good views along Glen Lochay. I wouldn't recommend the direct descent from the 859m bealach. It's fine down to the fence, but then it's purgatorial going through the regenerating woodland, for which read lots of hidden holes containing dead saplings, misguidedly planted in a bog. It's only short though, and the going gets better once you find the ATV track. Back to Tyndrum on the West Highland way. Overall, an excellent walk. One of the few Corbett rounds where there is no stalking.Gill22/09/2016
