Meall Buidhe and Beinn Leabhainn from the car park at Glen Ogle. Followed the easy dirt road to the mobile phone mast at 590m. then across mainly pathless terrain (although a few deer trods). Visited Beinn Leabhainn first then along the ridge to Meall Buidhe, before returning to the mast and a quick descent to Glen Ogle. Ascended in the cool of the early evening. Good views from the summit, including The Ben framed by other mountains. 8.5km with 470m ascent in 2.5 hours.silveracorn_alan04/06/2023

Such a gorgeous day, second walk after Fiaraich. Solo.Nick Canute28/02/2023
A straightforward approach via the vehicle track to a mast. Not best practice, but I followed footsteps in the snow to the summit. I did not hang about on the summit as visibility deteriorated and almost reached white-out conditions.langskill19/01/2023

The usual route from Glen Ogle car park up the mast track. Just before the mast, there is a half decent path for part of the way through the rough stuff, which reappears just before the bealach below a little crag, then you're on your own up soggy grass. The top of the hill is lovely short tundra, easy going. Superb views once out of the forestry and especially at the top.Gill01/03/2022

Standard route up the transmission mast track then rough to the summit. Sunshine and cold snowy showers in a stiff WNW breeze. Excellent views to Ben Vorlich / Stuc a Chroin, other higher summits mostly in cloud. With the whole winter group.Owen B22/02/2022
