| The Storr and Hartaval from tourist car park. | rhalstead | 14/06/2023 |
| Tourist track from the Old Man CP. Very misty start so contoured over to Hartaval initially before taking on The Storr. Thankfully the mist burned off and sunshine gave us a visible summit and easy clamber over to the E Top. Decided to head southwards, bagging The Storr South Top en route to Ben Dearg, A' Chorra-bheinn and Pein a' Chleibh. A great walk in perfect conditions only spoiled by the trudge back up the A855 dodging fast cars, wide motorhomes and dirty haulage trucks. Hey Ho, the lot of a bagger. 6.5 hrs total. | summitter | 30/05/2023 |

| Round of Hartaval and Ben Dearg. Forget the parking metres and Storr tourist path, park due SE of the Bealach Beag, which can be ascended on a boot path, then easily contoured around The Storr as already done. Excellent visibility in all directions, black and red Cuillin all impressive, St Kilda visible behind North Uist. | Topographer57 | 01/08/2021 |

| Fairly straightforward walk up from the Storr carpark. Lovely place to enjoy the views away from the hustle and bustle of the Storr. | Matt2901 | 14/04/2021 |

| Climbed from Old Man of Storr car park, up into Coire Scamadal then up Hartaval first, followed by The Storr, descended Bealach Beag. Dry all day with high level clouds. | chillyman8 | 05/09/2020 |

| I could not face the hordes of tourists at the Storr, so climbed the hill from the W, at the road end above Keistle. Called at the house for permission to park, which was readily granted. Along the track, then on rougher deer tracks to the bealach, up rough stuff to a steep easy climb on grass to Sron Dubh then easy ground to the top. Not very easy going low down but I had the hill to myself. | Gill | 30/09/2019 |

| From The Storr, returned diagonally from bealach to Storr North ridge, past some Dotterel. Only saw 4 people on Hartival as opposed to hundreds on other side of The Storr. | Flatfield | 10/05/2019 |
| From Storr via col. Returned via decent path through Bealach Beag. | willyross | 24/04/2019 |
