From layby parking at Annat to the NW. Followed good approach path to Loch an Eoin, then round to the W of the hill, before taking a direct ascent towards the summit, contouring round E to avoid some crags near the top and picking up the final part of the usual path up the SE ridge. Descent via the SE ridge to the bealach, picking up the (long) approach path back to Annat. Hot sunny day, with lots of views. With Gillian, Cathy and Jim.richard6903/06/2023

Traverse from Meall Dearg ( hump) over the summit and down over the tump. With Richard Mc. Sunny clear breezy weather . Parking at layby at Coulags. Bothy on path looked excellent.Denise 22/04/2023
With MKG and Rob, between two nights at bothy. Soft, wet snow (on the melt) from about 450m made going tough. Glimpses of view from summit. Some drizzly rain/sleet. Rounsfell04/01/2023

Straight-forward assent from Coulags. Fine weather. Good viewpoint to Lewis etcwychwood17/05/2021
Solo - set off at 7:30am in the dark, unsure of ground conditions so went in B3s - turned out to be a bit of a mistake, as there was not a hint of snow on the Southern Torridon mountains - so wasn't quite as comfortable a walk as it could have been. Oh well - sun came out and got some fab views over the rest of Torridon from the summit.mproudfoot19/12/2020

From Annat with Steve Smith. Snow and spindrift made for a tough day, but sun came out briefly as we summited. Went up the NW face, some ice climbing/scrambling involved. Quite an intense day out.jonglew12/02/2018

Solo. Single shot. Drove up and dumped the van just before 1pm. Glorious day, totally cloud free. Follow road and take path at LHS. Excellent path, but not for bikes! 2hr50 to summit with my dodgy knee :l Back out path. 17.2km, 1040m 5hr50.bowzi12/10/2013
The day started heavy rain. fell asleep in car to be awoken by drizzle. fairly simple mountain to climb and a luxury bothy on the way. The Corbett next door looked hard to twin with this munro.Jhimmy28/07/2013
