| Cairn is NNW of summit, not SSE. Descended SSW briefly then towards Meall Reamhar to avoid steep crags. | duchally | 25/11/2023 |
| From Inverlochlarig, straight up Stob Coire an Lochain, Stob Binnein, Ben More, back over to Stob Coire an Lochain, peaks in the mist. On bearing E, but soon below cloud to lovely day. Over very craggy ground with path becoming more intermittent & faint as we headed over Creag a Bhragit, Meall na Dige, Stob Bealach na Frithe to Stob Creagach. Steep in places & awkward Crags. Return SW below na Frithe & contoured Meall na Dige to reach SE ridge. Narrow path to Meall Monachyle but petered out on descent. SW down long grass, climbed deer fence into thigh deep grass through new forestry, with deep holes. Awful but short. Reached wall running E to W. Crossed it & turned W on rough track that ran to fence & turned S vaguely to gate near cattle grid at 460192. Great walk, but final descent needs some work! 21km, 1800m ascent, 8.5 hrs, 7 moving. | Lynnebe | 02/08/2023 |
| Ascent via Leacann Riabhach then return to the forestry track to the N via the Allt Coire Chaorach. | sclater | 31/08/2022 |
| From the North, up the forestry road, then a new landrover track continues. Left it at 46016 25077 where it heads West, crossed the burn and steeply to the top. Then the sub-Simm, Stob Bealach na Frithe.. | NormanW | 21/06/2022 |
| From Inverlochlarig. Up ridge over MT to Stob Binnein. Across to Meall na Dige via xMT. Then craggy complex terrain to Stob Creagach. Cut across towards Meall na Monachyle, and down to road back to start.. WithB,B and R. | jenx | 22/10/2021 |
| From lay by on A85. Up through old path to the open hill in Coire Chaorach and then onto ridge en route to Meall na Dige. Lots of new small hydro scheme work now evident and main access track for these was used in descent. | benalder284 | 24/02/2018 |
| Round of Coire Chaorach from near Auchessan (Ben More-Stob Creagach) | kdbennett | 03/12/2016 |
| A circuiit from just west of hotel starting up good track. Forest continues a lost further up the valley than shown on map so had to seek out fire breaks but not too bad on the two ascents. Stob creagach first up a very steep fire break then cross back east to The Stob, less steep. Then south via Stob Caol to road with some problems as did not find track -trees! | dickscroop | 06/11/2016 |
| ACW round of ben more, stob binnein, stob coire an lochain, creag a bhragit, meall na dige, stob bealach na frithe, stob creagach from the east 454276. | robertphillips | 28/08/2016 |

| Sunny, warm, dry, strong cold wind, good views. | iangalbraith | 30/04/2011 |
| Visited after Stob Binnein and Meall na Dige. Return via Coire Chreatach and down steep slopes off Meall Monachyle. The hill is complex with deep slots between it and Meall na Dige. | fasgadh | 31/10/2010 |
| Clockwise circuit of Stob Binnein and its tops from Inverlochlarig. Very tricky bealach to get over from Meall na Dige. Several craggy intermediate tops that require careful negotiation. Almost completely trackless. | andy | 26/06/2010 |
| After Stob Binnein. Couldnt face climbing back to the col between Ben More and Stob Binnein so dropped down via forest tracks to road. | PeteF | 20/06/2010 |
| With two friends. From a parking place near Allt Coire Chaorach. Did round over Stob Binnein, Stob Coire an Lochain and Meall na Dige including Creag a'Bhragit. Included Stob Creagagh where the way is surprisingly rocky with minor tops. Descended down to Allt Coire Chaoraich. We had hoped to follow a path beside this burn through the forest but it proved elusive. So we crossed the burn and a deer fence and rejoined the outward route. | pwbellarby | 19/10/2007 |

| Ascended after Meall na Dige whilst walking between Crianlarich and Luib on a long distance walk. | JohnW | 01/06/1976 |
| For our part we headed east to the next Top (Meall na Dige) and then north down into the glen for the long trek back to camp. As we made our way through some woodland in the failing, if not failed, light a brown owl took from its perch nearly taking my head off as it threaded its way through the trees. [My next sighting of an owl was again at dusk, cycling back from a Munro in the Cairngorms.] | langskill | 16/02/1969 |
