Parked at high point on Hells Glen road. Forest track to south of hill, then steeply up to summit. With bolton. Two trig pillars!Dangerous Dave12/03/2024
From the Hell's Glen forestry track, through felled forestry until reaching a still-standing section. Headed up besides this to tackle Stop an Eas from its SW flank. Lovely summit views then on to its North Top and over to Beinn an t-Seilich and Sron Beinn an t-Seilich. Back down to the Allt Beinn an t-Seilich and picked up the ATV track back through the forest. 3hrs total.summitter23/09/2023

From track near pt 219 on Hell's Glen road, SE on track to edge of recent felling then NE up side of remaining forestry to open ground and then up to trig and summit. Reasonable views. Return same way in light rain.MichaelF25/03/2023
With my missus. From the pass, over north top and across to Beinn an-t Seileag, super day and viewsNick Canute19/03/2022
The usual start up the track to the clearing. The hillside to the E of the main stream gully looks like a dull, steep trudge with a lot of boring crag dodging, so I followed the deer, who know the hill better than all of us. I followed the E bank of the stream to just below the steep section where clear deer tracks go W across the stream and up to an obvious stony and grassy gully leading up to a crag. Up this gully, steep, easy, gains height quickly, then exit onto a grassy shelf leading to the easy W side of the hill, keeping high to pass below the crags capping the ground on the W side of the main stream. Across the boggy dip at the head of the main stream, then steep mossy grass to emerge a few yards N of the trig. Also works fine in descent, a white house in the valley to the SE gives a landmark that you're in the right place. My knees don't bend fully, so I needed all fives for 2 of the steps down but otherwise it's merely steep.Gill29/05/2021
Along forest track near point 219 in Hell's Glen and up through clearing to Stob an Eas, North Top, Seilich & Sron Beinn an t-Seilich. Lots of snow - last day of a fantastic icy settled spell.sclater08/01/2021
Route climbing tops either side of Hell's Glen. Stob an Eas, Stob an Eas N Top, Beinn an t-Seilich, the various tops of Sron Beinn an t-Seilich, back to road then Cruach nan Capull, Cruach nam Mult. Initially cloud over the tops but cleared over timeRobertP24/08/2019
From Hell's Glen Parking at NN 168 074. Track zigzags a few times, then narrows and steepens a bit. Takes about 30 minutes to reach track's high point leading to the large clearing to hillside. Hillside looks steep and rocky outcrops. I went diagonally to the right to avoid the obvious large ravine, although it looked doable. Despite thick cloud I found the top easily. Returned the same way. Quite a bit harder then the 50k map suggests though.Jhimmy15/02/2019
Walked up through the forest from top of Hells Glen. Good route, lovely views.IanHHill17/05/2018
From high point of B839. Had studied Google Earth and various reports, plus took a look at it from Cruach nam Mult. The plan worked : got to the first zig zag on the forestry track, then less than 100m of forestry bashing straight up to rejoin the track. Then 200m along the track to a passing place at 175070. The forestry is only about 100m wide at this point, so straight up. Led to fairly easy grassy slopes, slightly to the left (west) of the SW shoulder.Owen B15/05/2018

Parked at high point where crossroads of forestry tracks. Left for summit at 6.50, followed forestry track then onto boggy smaller track which takes you to a clearing. Go straight up follow gorge to summit. No views as low cloud. Came straight down. Met up with two shooters descending due to low cloud. Friendly. Company: Soloiandesbottes17/02/2017

Solo walk/jog. From Hells Lum forest road.amswanston10/07/2016
Is it really that long since the last hill? Stob an Eas NN 186074. S/F NN 167074. Short walk up Geaham, first hill in area. As indicated in guide book track goes to clearing in forest giving easy acces to open hill. Fresh snow from 400m giving slipery conditions on steep climb up side of stream. Crossed stream near top and easy access to summit cairn. Dry, overcast and cold with very strong wind at summit and exposed hillside but very little wind elsewhere. Good views with high cloudbase. Cumpas not working near summit? Decided to take longer, less steep way down west side due to slipery conditions.John Young01/01/2016

Solo. From start of forest road at NN190098. Climbed up hillside following traces of path to NE end of summit ridge of Stob an Eas. Summit is at SW end. My rather old OS map showed no intervening bumps but there were actually some, Went over more prominent ones. Very misty. There is a trig point on summit with a circle of small rocks round it. Highest point seems to be just outside circle. Back along summit ridge and on to Beinn an t-Seilich. Lying snow on highest parts.pwbellarby07/04/2013

Trig revisit. Ring of stones an apology for a shelter cairn. Toppled trig broken off at FB level; remains of internal formwork and reinforcement. Cracking day, gorgeous view, especially of Loch Goil and Fhidleir. From W, forest road initially then followed the primrose studded banks of the burn to open ground. Then on to the 719m Yeaman.RHW08/05/2010

Ascended from forest track in Hell's Glen. Headed on for Beinn an t-Seilich.JohnW09/06/2007
From top of Hell's Glen road. Long zig zags up into forest to end of vehicle tracks. 1/2 mile on wide well used path to get a view of RP above tree line. Steeply up by stream then grass, rush patches aiming for a gap in first line of crags. Cuckoo heard from forest. More steep collar work to rise above rock outcrops and to top at 10.10. Magic view of Loch Goil.arranc16/05/2005
