| From Loch an Eilein, starting at old cottage (NH896086), N of car park, through broken gate, and straight up unpleasant steep slopes of fallen trees, reaching summit area and short walk to the summit, returned down track from summit, initially SE but curving and zigzagging back to very near the start and the route I should have taken [from the broken gate, head on track initially S along fence, look for a thin track heading up] (1h20m) | kdbennett | 01/03/2024 |

| While staying in friend Alan's mobile home on caravan park just south of the Loch Morlich road, Aviemore. A late afternoon ascent from the car park on the NE. Dusting of last nights snow on the ground. Very different from my midsummer accent 11 years ago, but same route. Objective an air dry clay mould of the 10767 Vanessa's FB. On the summit about 25 mins after sunset. Chilly, as to be expected. For enthusiasts of number geek stuff + memories the 'The Angie Corrie' this FB is Editor Dave Hewitt's 6th birthday trig on his 'Birthday Trig Walk of Life' and a century on, in 2067 it'll be the 56th birthday pillar of the Beckham's daughter, Harper Seven. Okay now you can roll your eyes at the random nature of dates I store in my head. | vegibagger | 22/02/2024 |
| Circular route clockwise around Loch an Eilein and up the shallower side. The section immediately after leaving the Loch-side circular route has a lot of fallen trees to climb over or crawl under. The start of the climb proper (RHS of a locked deer fence) is sketchy in places; gps and All Trails was useful. Good views from top | Paul Digard | 11/02/2024 |
| From the Loch an Eilean car park - over the stile behind the toilet block and up the path. Lots of fallen trees from recent storms blocking the path, although easy to divert around. Icy rocks near the top. 2km, 40 mins. | Rockdoctor | 02/01/2024 |

| Tried an ascent from the south west but it was infested with deer fences with padlocked gates. Went round to the car park and managed to squeeze through the (padlocked) gate, then up via path. Low cloud and a bit wet so no views. | Fife Walking | 05/10/2021 |

| From Loch an Eilean car park on path. | Winterfloodian | 04/09/2020 |
| from the north end of the Loch an Eilein car park, over style next to big gate, behind building that you see from the pay station. Then follow the meandering path, all the way to the summit. A bit overgrown with ferns in places, but it gets there!! Lovely view point! (PS The parking charge has gone up to £3... I suppose you could always park remote, and cycle in)!? | clanbonham | 25/07/2020 |
| M90 bus to Aviemore, walk from there. | BasherBob | 08/03/2020 |
| Parked at Loch an Eilein then up steep slopes to the top. Snowing heavily with little view. | Simon Winton | 29/01/2020 |
