With Sketch, on lead throughout. Multiple cairns to match the multiple views to Skye, Barra, Rhum, Beinn Mhor, Eriskay.....langskill17/10/2023
Nice 3 Marilyn walk in the sun after arriving on ferry from Barra before getting bus up to accom near Lochboisdale. Walked in from East near stream, bit grotty to start with Bog Myrtle. Descent to S is a better line through crags.davechaffey20/06/2023
Circuit from North Glendale. The start of path shown on map not present on ground, so followed track track running E along coast then SE to climb Beinn Bheag. Joined path running SE then climbed Hairtebreac (all the high points), across to Roineabhal, along ridge to Cruachan and Marabhal, and finally the long pull to Easabhal (summit and 3 cairns of similar height) - lots of rock slabs on this hill. Descent back to North Glendale. Hot and sunny.RobertP14/06/2023
Parked near the church for this cairn festival with Dangerous Dave. Great bits of rock & fantastic views today.Dugswell204/06/2022
I met Dugswell2 at the church car park. Up through field gates onto open hillside. Pleasant walk up to multi-cairned rocky plateau. Back same way.Dangerous Dave04/06/2022
Bus to end of S Glendale track. Rough traverse to Easabhal then NW to N Glendale and walk back along road to Lochboisdale. Sunny, fresh NE breeze.Thearlaichdubh23/04/2022
Solo from SouthPeteF23/04/2022
Parked in church cp and left a donation, church open of course. Straight up, checked coords, then visited the other cairns, in case!iangalbraith10/09/2021
From south parking near mast track... easy going on rocky scoured hill. Ok..summit cairns bit silly, thankful to be clear if a little light rain and gale wind.N.Morters03/05/2021
Chose the south side of Easabhal, as the route from the church looks much less interesting. There doesn't seem to be any parking close to Glendale; it's either people's house car park or a passing place. Therefore, I parked approx. 782143 slightly west of the start to the mast track. Easily up this track, then nice off-piste walking to Easabhal, good views. All cairns visited. Down towards Loch na Brathad, crossing bogs to S, then along the fence below Marabhal. Contoured up to join the fence heading to the S of Cruachan, later becoming a turf wall. Easy going. Cut round the side to avoid wasted climbing, rejoining turf wall then across bogs to climb Roineabhal. Nice views but fierce winds and very heavy showers. Back almost the same way then down the road.Gill12/10/2020
With David S - from church cp to W. Visited 6 cairns including summit cairn.ger02/10/2019
With ger at summit a stag was moving around the top, good views on a fine day.DRS02/10/2019
Short ish detour whilst doing a streach of the Hebridean way. Liked this hill, full of interest and views and easy to walk on. Up from the causeway.nickywood108/06/2018
Parked by 20’container in South Glen Dale. Along coast & up to Roineabhal, to Cruachan, Marabhal and to Easabhal. Good wx, strong S’ly breeze. With PM.CJM19/05/2018
4th and last from 781147 parking. Roineabhal, Cruachan, Marabhal and Easabhal. Descended east to road and then car with CM. Clear and sunny. 7.5 miles and 4 hour 15 minutes.bolton19/05/2018
Roadside parking at NF 7915 1492. Followed coast path, accessible through a garden! to Roneval first. Onto Hairtebreac, Cruachan, Marabhal and Easabhal for a pleasant 8 miles. With Carole Engel.jonglew18/08/2017
From the coast road at East Kilbride. Pleasant ascent, following a little stair case of ridge lines. Couldn't resist a circuit of the nine cairns on the summit plateau, at least three of which were old, substantial and mossy.Nick Down119/07/2017
With Jenx via the shortest easiest way from church car park to West. Cropped pastures and fell for half distance then easy lines through heather to summit rocks. Visited the various cairned tops but RHB point appears highest.nordicstar28/04/2016
Easy Easaval.jenx28/04/2016
From car park of hideous church. Straight up using grassy strip between heather. Walked over numerous potential HPs and made the most of the beautiful views. Up and down in 1hour 15 minutes.Campbell Singer06/04/2016
Parked on the side road at 756 164 and walked down the track on the other side of the B888 and up to the top avoiding the boggiest ground. Splendid views in the sunshine.martin_hall15/10/2015
With Mora from minor road to south parking at nf785143BLACKHILL17/05/2015
Dropped off near mast to south east. Ascended via easy scrambling on rough slabs including a cave which you can climb out of the back of. Descended towards the horrendous looking church to the north west where picked up.raffemeister12/04/2015
Parked in the church car-park on B888, took a direct line over very wet ground.tim74710/05/2014
My last full day after nearly three weeks spent over on the Western Isles. I made the effort to have a good long final walk today, out here and back from Daliburgh visiting a total of seven TuMPs along the way.Alex C01/10/2013

Parked on the B888 by Trosaraidh. Headed for the summit which drifted in and out of cloud. Just before leaving the top the cloud cleared for a few seconds to show four other cairns. However we had chosen the correct one for the top.garyhoney01/08/2001
From shoreline on grassy bridal way and heather and granite crags. A wet flatter hag area, avoiding mini swamps and peat to top at 16.55. New Eriskay causeway in view.arranc31/07/2001
