| Small layby on B846 at 697589 gives easy access from the road junction to the good track coming up from the South. Skirt round the eastern side of Drumglas to reach the bottom of the track. | 49pp | 06/06/2023 |

| From east parking just below bothy. Up the path track then through the heath via grassy area (bracken in summer). Via Sim first past frozen Loch na Caillaich and then to summit trig and large cairn. Snow patches. | N.Morters | 28/01/2023 |
| Solo from parking spot on A847 - drizzle with low cloud all morning so no views above 500m. There wasn't much worth stopping for, so I tapped the summit cairn (& trig) and immediately descended the same way - 2h 27min total time. | mproudfoot | 05/11/2022 |

| Parked at NN707617 and up to Loch na Caillich (easy at first, heather-bashing later), Meall nan Eun, summit. Then SW to path down to Drumglas, back up road c150m re-ascent. Very hot and sunny at first, raining and cold at end. | Rounsfell | 01/08/2022 |
| From Walkhighlands' start point on A847, returned same way. Great views from summit. 2 hours up, 90 mins down. | Crib Goch | 31/07/2022 |

| Climbed with Jon. Reasonably good weather day | amcculloch | 15/01/2022 |
| With John. Cloudy at first but cleared to blue sky and sunshine. Started down the road and up by the stalkers path. Meadow pipits and a lapwing. Stunning views to glencoe, the Ben ?, Ben alder and where we were last month. Pathless way back, and fought with bracken which had apparently been sprayed. 😳 | Veryhappybunny | 25/07/2021 |

| From a cleared area by the B 846,sufficient to park 2-3 cars, at NN 69682 58909. Took the grassy track up towards Drumglas, diverting over a fence (barbed, but easy) to ascend under a pylon to reach the wide stony track up the hill. This became a stalker's path beyond a gate, faint further up, till it joined an ATV track. Before crossing a burn I continued NNE, gaining the south ridge by a grassy corrie about 300m south of the huge summit cairn. Return by outward route. 10.1km, with 715m of ascent. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 17/07/2021 |

| From Kinloch Rannoch with Rod and Grant up track then over bridge to col under Tom Cruinn. Up over Meall Breac to cross stalkers path then on to summit. Returned by strange topography under Carn Fiaclach. Stayed dry all day though misty. | SS | 09/06/2021 |

| Straight up from the B847 to the east at point 313. From Coire Odhar headed west, then turned right to the summit. Pathless but not too bad, bracken to about 400m but not too deep or thick, then mostly reasonably short heather. Dry weather helped. | Owen B | 25/09/2020 |

| Took the track/path from Drumglas, which provides a steady altitude gain without recourse to heather and bracken trampling. Once due west of Beinn a' Chuallaich it was a simple matter of scampering to the summit, for spectacular 360 degree views. Along the broad ridge to Meall nan Eun, then down to the western shore of Loch na Caillich, looking gloriously blue in the bright, bright sunshine. A quick spurt to Meall na Moine, then an eastward descent linking dried up burns and short grass sections to the stalkers path to the B847. Another superb summer saunter. Even the walk back to the car was lovely in these trafficless times. | summitter | 31/05/2020 |
