| From Caravan Park which has now closed but still allows parking. Icy and a few snow patches. Stunning clear day, views as far as outer Hebrides. After stile and stream crossing kept on ATV track branching rightwards to bag 619m top first. Then scrambled up rock tiers of SW Ridge. Descended north then followed ENE spur down on north bank of burn (much easier than the path above burn on S bank which was very icy). With Lesley. | Nick Canute | 09/01/2024 |
| Plenty parking at deserted camp site to WSW (NM 7239 6395). From NM 7241 6391, WM path (indistinct at times - over boggy bits of which there are many) all way to top. Returned same way, leaving path at NM 7601 6540 to easily contour round (at 550m) to Beinn an Albannaich. NW to regain path to car. nice walk | carole engel | 13/08/2023 |
| With John and wee Islay from Resipole Holiday Park. Sunny day with blue skies, no wind below 600m so plenty of midges and keds (yuck) - slight cool breeze on summit. Went up the path to the summit, but descended down the craggy West face for a bit of a change, and rejoined the path out at the bottom of the crags. Few stops for snacks so total time ended up as 4h 42min. | mproudfoot | 27/08/2022 |
| With Lynn + the kids. Nice scrambling route up and great views. | nix_snilloc | 11/08/2022 |
| On path from Ben Resipole campsite. Boggy in places. | Winterfloodian | 04/06/2022 |

| From resipol campsite over top to strontian at other side. | Rodge | 12/10/2021 |
| From the excellent parking at the camp site. Lovely hill, reasonable path, though still boggy after three warm, dry days. Very warm and sunny and rather hazy. Took my time after some long days. Minor navigational error on the way down, coming to the end of the boggy moorland section I ended up at a gate heading for the ravine, easily corrected. Was given a free espresso at the excellent art gallery afterwards. What a friendly hill day. | Owen B | 24/08/2021 |
| From campsite. Good path for the most part. | Crib Goch | 30/06/2021 |
| With MM, a straightforward ascent from the campsite following the track, then atv tracks then faint footpath onto the shoulder then an easy final ascent to the top. Views and weather- apart from an hour of hail and heavy rain- outstanding | kenmorti | 16/05/2021 |
| Dean and I, cracking day pestered by deer keds. Camped at Castle Tioram afterwards. | kojak | 18/09/2020 |
| Solo during a week in Ardgour & Sunart. From Resipole campsite up the east bank of the river. Clear path all the way up the hill & a grand view from the summit. Worth waiting for a clear day. | NotReallyABagger | 03/10/2019 |
| Respect to Resipol campsite who offer free parking by their reception. Followed track to east of Allt Mhic Chiarain which then evolves into a foot path. This has really developed since my first ascent over 20 years ago! | BaggerGutt | 18/07/2019 |
| From Ariundle, along the miners track to Beinn Resipol (fab views to the Islands), down the crags to Beinn an Albannaich, then picked our way over to its South Top and Creag an Eighich, before descending down to the Allt Camas a Choirce, then the slog up to Beinn a Chaorainn via its south top - which gives easy access back to the Miners track. Pretty easy going in dry, sunny conditions, would be tough in rain and mist - 5.5hrs in total. | summitter | 12/05/2019 |
| Cycling trip to Ardnamurchan | iansm | 09/05/2019 |
| From Beinn Mhor hotel up the very good trackn then pretty pathless across to east ridge of Resipol where we disappeared into the cloud and stayed there. No problem to summit but in thick cloud and rain lost line on way down on what appears(in cloud at Least) to be a fairly complicated ridge. Finished up abandoning trying to find the line and cut down south to join the road at Ranachan - a lot of bracken made it hard going. | dickscroop | 31/10/2018 |

| I walked up from Resipole camp site. It was a good path all the way to the top. There were a few fell runners that overtook me. I met 2 couples one from County Durham I had a good chat to on the way down probably a good 20 minutes. When I started the walk it was clear blue skies but a bank of cloud came in just before I reached the summit. Luckily it cleared to give stunning views to the east with all the main summits on the western side of Scotland visible from Ben Cruachan to Ben Nevis and northwards. Wildlife was sparse just Meadow Pipits and Ravens on the hill. I did see Stonechats lower down. Time taken including stops 4hours 22 minutes. Was pleased to get down as my Achilles started to hurt following a tear at the start of June. | isabelle | 01/07/2018 |

| Most of the way with Yeltzbaager but turned back before the top. Yeltzbagger carried on and managed to get lost in the wood near Resipol Farm. I knew he would! | Stevie n Tay | 27/03/2017 |
| Climbed most of the way with Stevie n Tay then went to the top on my own. She knew I would get lost in the wood at Resipol Farm... | Yeltzbagger | 27/03/2017 |
| Early start up the miners track from Ariundle as rain forecast at 2pm. Fresh snow made the eastern slopes hard work, but the top ridge was enjoyable. View from the summit but sky was very dark. Made it back just as rain was starting well pleased with ourselves. | mindlessflogger | 24/02/2017 |
| RESIPOL RACE | donmeister | 01/09/2016 |
| With four other XXL club members from the friendly campsite at Resipol. Very straightforward. | Phreerunner | 31/07/2016 |
| A warm and sunny ascent today. Good views from the top. Only saw two other people all day and had the top to myself. | Walker Dan | 31/05/2016 |
| With M. Staying in Strontian (supposedly pine marten but didn't see it). Fairly straightforward walk from caravan park, a bit misty. | douglas_easton | 22/05/2016 |
| After snow the previous day and overnight we decide to ascend. Clear blue and cold - we start from Loch Sunart (Beinn Resipol Caravan Site) Wood to rear then follow Allt Mhic Chiara to open country and the valley below the main summit. Paths not visible in the snowy landscape. Having been caught up by the walkers behind we map a route to the summit and continue up together. Treated to 360 degree view of snowy peaks all around breath-taking and sublime. Butties consumed we head back slowly. | briandavies | 29/04/2016 |
| RESIPOL RACE | donmeister | 01/09/2015 |
| From Resipole caravan site (9;15) followed path and track which wound up the glen through 2 gates and to a third at 741652. From here a path, mostly good but finally faint followed S bank of stream to top of E ridge. Cloud down but dry. Finish 14:00 | dbb | 16/06/2015 |

| Started from Resipol Campsite. | papagenos | 11/06/2014 |
| RBS Ariundle weekend. Beautiful sunny, blue sky day. Good track to top of saddle over to next glen then strike across rough ground towards Resipol, bit of a scruffy track to start but soon lost it, many false summits. Great view out to Eigg, Rhum, Skye, South Uist, Ben Nevis in other direction. With Richard H. | langskill | 27/04/2014 |
| With Ian Soulsby. | Dangerous Dave | 01/03/2014 |
| Jen and my final Corbett. With group of 15 on fine clear if cool day. Fantastic day and great base at Ariundle centre nr Strontian. Up good miners track from Ariundle, plus the Graham top, sub 5 and HuMP. Excellent summit ridge and celebration on top. | nordicstar | 12/10/2013 |
| Must have been with the celebration party - woke up with sore head following morning. | Smudge | 12/10/2013 |

| Straightforward ascent in the mist up the boggy path from Resipole Holiday Park. Shame to not catch any views. Will have to return! | bowlesy | 26/08/2013 |
| Misty on top. Stump of trig pillar seemed a lot closer than 8m from the cairn | KevPalmer | 15/07/2013 |
| Resipole to Strontian over Beinn Resipol, great walk: beautiful way up, less attractive down but still satisfying, giving the entire summit ridge. My brother cycled back to recover the car while I prepared dinner (we rented a bungalow next to the Ben View hotel, great for exploring this area) | pwheeler | 19/05/2013 |
