Logged Descriptions  (logged by 119 users)ByDate of Ascent
Parked close to the suspension bridge at Dalchalmie. Faint path up Alltan Alasdair to the fence at 150m asl, then pathless through the heather, but reasonably firm, even, dry ground despite copious recent rainfall.Owen B20/09/2023
From the suspension bridge - up the fence - across the grassy area - bear right to a grassy gully - steeply up to the tundra like summit slopes.Chris Peart25/04/2023
An anti-clockwise round of three Marilyns and four Tumps from Kilphedir.Minto28/07/2022
Seventh and last hill of the day for me. Long walk from Kilphedir visiting Cnoc na Maoile, Creag Scalabsdale SE Top, Creag Scalabsdale, Suidh' an Fhir-bhig, Creag man Gearr, Cnoc Salisdale & Beinn Dubhain. Direct descent to the road west of Balvalaich where we had left the car. With Minto.Dangerous Dave28/07/2022
As per Bolton. 8C at the car. Good views from summit with only a few patches of snow on the hills to the far west. CTC 2 hours.Coinneach18/01/2022
Parked by the wooden shack near the suspension bridge. Followed the faint path that approximately follows the wee burn. Straight up the rather steep hillside - the heather gets shorter as you go up! Tundra like summit with small cairn. Fine views all around and a snow bunting flitting about. On then to 394 m top, then The Pap. Similar route back.David Bremner16/10/2021

From Baile an Or car park.ger09/09/2020
Parked at the Gold Rush site of Baile an Or. Picked our way east and then SE away from unsuitable bracken or deep heather. With Ger in 2.25 hours.bolton09/09/2020
Parked at fishing hut, easy wee walk. Lots of covid/access notices. Inaccurate and a bit dubious, so reported to the access officer, who agrees, but doesn't seem to want to take action. Oh well.iangalbraith15/07/2020
From Baile an Or, on return from Creag Scalabsdale with Ellie dog.BLACKHILL18/06/2019
Wet and misty. Up from gold rush informatiion pointtrimarc218/05/2019
As per jonglew. No problems with deep heather. Good views over Helmsdale Glen.willyross19/03/2019
From a good parking place by the burn SE of Duible. Easy up the fence on mossy grass tongues between heather patches to a gateway, then boggy grass to where the hill steepens, heather (hard work), then a nice tundra summit area.Gill28/02/2019
Roadside pull-in near Duible (NC 9262 1975). Took a direct route to the top, steeper than expected and upper third with dense covering of heather.jonglew28/02/2019
Down to NNW to stream and picked up a steadily improving path/road to Suisgill LodgeAlan Moore21/05/2018
4 of 4: From Cnoc Salislade. With David.ChrisR30/10/2017
From suspension bridge. An easy one, smooth and dry ground, mostly short grass and heather, nice views of river.Topographer5729/09/2017
Parked at Baile an Or and up ridge. Would have been better going from due SouthThearlaichdubh24/05/2017
From suspension bridge. Not a very nice heathery hill.NormanW21/05/2017
Quick up and down - straightforward.martin_hall19/03/2017
Quick bag up and down from road via shortest route. Late in day, misty and wet on top. Easy underfoot most of the way.jenx26/03/2016
From road directly below summit w Jenx, good parking next to burn. Fast up on good ground to summit. Misty and damp but easy to top in under 30 mins. Down again even quicker.nordicstar26/03/2016

On the last day of a New Year week at Helmsdale. From the parking area at Baile an Or, more or less straight up the hill with Martin66, J, JC, Otis, Smithy, Harts & MarkH. Took a slanting NW line back to the top of the track.NotReallyABagger03/01/2015

Ascent from road through low cloud.JohnW15/06/2012
Parked on A897 Kinbrace road at the gold mine. Very strong wind behind me. Knee high heather with burnt patches made for mixed going to the horizon to see top of hill 1 3/4 miles away to the right. Over the still dry moor of varied stuff to a small col before final plod over tussocky grass sponge and cotton grass to top at 15.00.arranc20/06/2008
