| The weather cleared on my way home from Cowal and I couldn't resist an opportunistic reascent. All very enjoyable, with mist coming and going from the summit | Colin Crawford | 20/03/2024 |

| Up the usual NE ridge from the lay-by on the A83 S of Butterbridge. Very boggy low down but improving with altitude. Path incredibly eroded in places. Great hill though | Rockdoctor | 12/05/2022 |

| Solo - up and down before 11am. Cloud at top. | mproudfoot | 14/06/2020 |
| Solo from layby. First time walking in snow above 750m - and stupidly without ice axe/crampons. Reached point after first steep section at approx. NN222 085 where only option was to continue as retracing steps likely to result in a slip on the hard snow off the rockface. After that, Old Man's Face (approx. NN218 080) only scary bit, but snow much deeper here and less likely to slip. Cloud was down at around 880m. Visited north summit then, I think, south summit before descending to top much further south. Easy, if very steep, grassy drop down to RaBT. Cruach Tairbeirt afterwards. Petrifying day - learned my lesson. | iangpark | 23/03/2020 |

| The NE ridge from Butterbridge CP (the route of the military road, leading over the stone bridge and mapped as a path is now tenanted by a marshy stream). A very enjoyable ridge walk over a series of scrambly steps. The views get better and better, with Cowal and Loch Fyne spreading out before you from the summit. | Nick Down1 | 14/06/2019 |
