Moody views up Glen Etive from small summit tarn framed by rainbow in fierce wind. | cumbria mammoth | 28/10/2023 |
Solo. Found some discontinuous scrambling on way up. On to Creach Beinn. Snow showers threatened but none got me. | Nick Canute | 24/04/2023 |
From layby at Druimavuic, estate road E up Coire Buidhe to col. Contoured SE below Creag na Cathaig for protection from wind before steep ascent to Meall Garbh in cloud and across to the trig at Creach Bheinn. One window in the cloud gave us a brief but impressive view out to the W. Returned over Creag na Cathaig as wind had reduced. With Gillian. | richard69 | 26/05/2022 |
Up the track from Druimavuic to its high point then a hot and breezy climb over Creag na Cathaig, Meall Garbh and Creach Bheinn. The flank down Sron Fuarain looked tempting, so we took it to an impressive ridge-end cairn, continuing over to the craggy Creach Bheinn East Top, then contouring to the NW of Beinn Bheag to enable the easiest ascent. Back over to Coire Buidhe and down the track to the camper and ice cold drinks. 5.15hrs. | summitter | 24/04/2022 |
Parked at Druimavuic for a circuit of 6 Simms. 1/6. Up track for 2km before heading straight up. | PGCE | 29/06/2021 |
From Creig na Cathaig. Steepish climb to this before heading to the Corbett. Solo. | bolton | 01/10/2020 |

Debs & Tali, late start, Rocky Tops of Beinn Sgulaird as per Pocket Mountains, Central Highlands. | Mountain Goat | 19/09/2019 |
From Druimvuic on estate track then east over NE top and on to Meall Garbh main summit. Returned by similar route but taking in Creag na cathaig which I had missed in cloud on way out. Decent enough weather but tops all in cloud so no views which I think may have been quite good otherwise. | dickscroop | 29/12/2017 |

Two summit rocks seem of equal height and both higher than the cairned top. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 09/07/2016 |
Solo. I had a great night at The Onich Hotel with two tattoo artists, both called Troy and a musician called Jamie. Didn't plan this walk and subsequently thought this summit was Creach Bheinn. Found out it wasn't when I returned to the van at Druimavuic! | Dangerous Dave | 06/07/2016 |
Circuit from Druimavuic | rjf35 | 25/03/2016 |
with Tess. Sunny - and warm when out of the strong, cool, gusty E wind. Good hazy views. From Druimavuic via track to col and C Bheinn. Return via M Garbh, M na Caorach dropping down to and crossing burn. 5hrs inc stops. No walkers but cranes and L Rovers on track (hydro works?). | niallp | 21/04/2014 |
