Parked at high point of road in Hells Glen. Came over trackless ground from Cruach nam Mult. Descended ridge to forest road (extends further than shows on map, to meet end of ridge). Solo.Dangerous Dave14/03/2024

From Cruach nam Mult (steep). Then down the NNE ridge and back along the fence to the corner of the unfelled trees. Next, the clearfell was not as bad as it could have been. The track is now longer than on the map [check Google satellite view].Pete R05/03/2022
From NW / A815 route. A soggy nightmare of chest high bracken! Try other routes or times when the bracken is down…BaggerGutt23/08/2021
Up NE ridge of Cruach nan Capull from A815 on to Creag Dubh and down via the very good forestry track that descends to St Catherines. Route was spongy and would normally be very wet but the bogs were completely dry and I returned dryshod in trainers.sclater01/08/2021
With Sclater. Came down a different route, trying to find the track towards Laglingarten, but could only find it towards the end. I was struggling with the vegetation being so high and dense, like a jungle of thistles with dead fallen trees. My favorite part was getting back to the car, although the view at the top is great.Missphoton01/08/2021

Route climbing tops either side of Hell's Glen. Stob an Eas, Stob an Eas N Top, Beinn an t-Seilich, the various tops of Sron Beinn an t-Seilich, back to road then Cruach nan Capull, Cruach nam Mult. Initially cloud over the tops but cleared over timeRobertP24/08/2019
Went up from the end of a section of old road at about NN155081, along the old road,then through a gate at a quaint caravan. Picked our way through new forest planting, and straight to the summit. Found a better way back. (When going up there's an old track just SE of the caravan, past a pile of logs. After less than 100yds, pass old logs around a watery hole on your left, then just after that turn right at a yellow/white stone. There's the remains of an old track which is of some help getting up through the new trees. It seems better to go straight on, but it wasn't! Not saying this is a great approach, but it was a suitable place to park.)LizH03/07/2019

From east after Cruach nam Mult. Very steep grassy slope. Down north ridge and then turned right down fire break near foot of ridge. From bottom of firebreak a horrendous walk through felled trees to reach forest road which goes to high point of Hell's Glen where car was parked.russell6116/05/2016

Parked at 132080 and followed zig zags up through felled forest, then plodded up through tussocky heather to fine summit viewpoint. If ground hadn't been frozen, it would have been wet.Thearlaichdubh28/12/2014

Parked at top of road in Hell's Glen. On pleasant track through wood for a mile rising slightly to its end. Located a narrow path up through trees south by a stream. Over a stream by old fence, then lost path, thrashing through brash for last 200m uphill towards sunlight and to open moor to the right. Bore right on springy tussock to col between hills and trundle uphill to trig 5718 on top. Hazy views of Loch Fyne and Inverary and castle. To Multarranc14/04/2007
