Along the WHW from Inversnaid, then up the track from Cailness to quickly bag Cruachan and its satellites ... South Top and the two Maol a' Chapuill tops. Back along the WHW. 4hrs.summitter17/05/2023
From Loch Arklet dam - Cruachan, Cruachan S Top, Maol a' Chapuill & Beinn Uamha then back down forest track to point 184. Very rough country - tussocks and heather - very few tracks. With M.sclater29/08/2020
On the way from Cruachan to Beinn Uamha.Alan Moore22/04/2019
Two nice tops with a new deer fence between them, not one stile for several km, evidently they do not expect people to go walking on the hills in a national park. Had to climb it 8 times in one walk.alda01/04/2018
cruachan, cruachan south top, moal a chapuill west top, moal a chapuill, from head of loch arklet parked below large pine trees.robertphillips03/10/2017
Tough traverse from Cruachan on a day of showers and poor visibility. I seemed to visit numerous knolls before being sure of the summit. Dreadful descent to Arklet dam through lush vegetationColin Crawford21/06/2017
Level bilberry summit of rocky bluff N side of fence 1-2ft higher than summit 100m S; summits to E several m lower. #4 of 4 from Rob Roy viewpoint car park. Mostly sunny when higher hills in and out of cloud.RHW04/06/2017
Choice of 3 summits,take your pick.chalky195308/12/2015
Probably climbed this. Looking for Midas with Holly and Abby. A gorgeous high cloud, light wind, sunny, day with fabulous views from Ben Lomond, round Glen Douglas hills, Arrochar and Crienlarich hills to Trossachs. Snow above 2000'. Rob Roy Carpark, Cruachan, Cruinn a Bheinn, Beinn Uamha, and back over the tops. New Deer fence needed to be jumped several times. 7 hours.alexmaclennan02/02/2013
