Did the nice grade 2 scramble at NM 89224 58400, which lies at 541m, above the steep vegetated cliff and below the slabs.Alan Moore25/04/2023
Superb sunshiny anti-clockwise circuit of the Glen Galmadale horseshoe from the CP. Up past Curlew Cottage and The Steadings onto the East Ridge. Minor path most of the way to Airigh Mhic Bheathain and Meall nan Each. Nice arête over to Maol Odhar East Top then back up to Maol Odhar proper. Some unusual walls just before Creach Bheinn before huge fall and rise up to Fuar Bheinn. Similar prominence change to Beinn na Cille. Down the SE flank to west of a wee forest then over the road to grab Ceanna Mor. Had a stand-off with a stag at Camasnacroise before a well earned beer back at the camper. 6hrs.summitter25/02/2023
Via the newish hydro-electric track makes for an easy start, then across stream and straight up picking best line you can. came back with six ticks!dickscroop29/08/2022
The new hydro plant track on the north side of these Simms makes access much easier. Parking off old road (A861) at NM88516043. Cycle down to gate at NM88316045 and follow (steep) track up glen to dam at NM88635920. Cross stream an through hole in deer fence at NM88875888 and on to Maol Odhar East Top. Continuing along the ridge to Maol Odhar is aided with a well worn deer track at the critical points.BaggerGutt21/06/2022
6/8 A traverse of the impressive Glen Galmadale Horseshoe, taking in the two Corbetts of Fuar Bheinn (Cold Hill) and Creach Bheinn (Hill of Spoil) as well as 6 other peaks, along the way: Ceanna Mor, Beinn na Cille, Maol Odhar, Maol Odah East Top, Mealham Each, and Arigh Mhic Bheathain. I did it clockwise, so I finished the hard up and down work by the time I reached the main summit of Chreach Bheinn. The descent along the eastern ridge being very easy on the legs, and the detour to bag Maol Odhar East Top costs very little in extra effort. Splendid views out to the west to Jura, Mull, Rhum and even the Western Isles. Also back east across Loch Linnhe to all the Lochaber hills from a perfect angle. So keep it for a fine day. 20km with 1630m ascent, taking 8h 30m.silveracorn_alan01/06/2022
Parked by cattle grid to NE for a circuit of Maol Odhar, Maol Odhar East Top, Meall a' Choirean Luachraich and Meall a' Bhraghaid.PGCE13/05/2022
