| Circuit from Inverlochlarig. Ascent of Stob Breac via Allt a' Choire Bhain, then along ridge to An Stuchd, returning down Glen Sgionie. | vuirich | 26/07/2023 |
| Continuing S along the ridge. Then down W to Cnoc na Nathrach. | Minto | 28/02/2023 |
| From car park to the North, up from 439157 by stream to bag two sub-Simms then this one. On to Meall Gaothach and Taobh na Coille, down North ridge and forest road, crossing the Invernenty Burn just before it exited the forest. | NormanW | 28/02/2023 |
| 4th and last of the day with D.Dave descended to a firebreak which emerges on the forest road at 439155. | bolton | 16/11/2022 |
| With bolton. Last of four hills. Walked northwards and descended on a NW bearing towards the forest. Found a wide firebreak which took us easily and quickly back to the forest track in Glen Sgionnie. | Dangerous Dave | 16/11/2022 |
| Parked in the car park and followed the farm road through Inverlochlarig and on to the splendid new footbridge. Then followed the SMC route up the desperately steep ascent of the Stob a' Choin. Then along the ridge visiting Meall Reamhow North Top, Meall Reamhow, and Creag na h-lolaire; before a tricky steep descent to Creag Chaorannach, and on to the pleasant little bump Cnoc na Nathrach. Then S to N along the Stob Breac ridge, where the going is much easier. Visited outlier Beinn Mheadonach, An Stuchd, Sob Breac Far South Top, Stob Breac South Top, and finally Stob Breac. I did not fancy a lengthy steep descent after so many steep sections already. So, I backtracked to the col before the south top, turned west, taking a gently graded grassy rake with a stream much the way to the top of the forest. I then went down the gap followed by the stream with a dog leg to the grassy forest road. Much of the route was slow going, so a 9 hour trek trek covering 20km with 1400m of ascent. | silveracorn_alan | 25/08/2022 |
| Along south ridge from Stob Breac. There are a couple of tops that appear to be the same height but think the most northerly top is the higher one. From there it was down west slope to nip up Cnoc na Nathrach before trying to find the forest track back to Inverlochlarig. | Jossker | 06/08/2022 |
| solo. meant to continue to Stob a'Coin, but moving too slowly. Warm. Very steep. No midges, but clouds of flies. | langskill | 11/07/2022 |
| Track from Inverlochlarig to NN 45526 17352, through gap in trees beside burn and up to Stob Breac. Along the ridge to Beinn Mheadhonach, climbed the deer fence at NN 44361 14674 and down through gap in trees to Glen Sgionie track. | TRG318 | 29/04/2021 |
| Straightforward route up break in forest from car park at Inverlochlarig to Stob Breac, An Stuchd, Beinn Mheadhonach, Creag na h-Iolaire, Meall Reamhar and Stob a' Choin. | sclater | 07/02/2020 |
| From the car park towards Blairchreich, then the forest track to the tree break directly north of Stob Breac. Up the northern flank to the Stob, then along the ridge southwards taking in each recognised top to An Stuchd. Continued south to Beinn Mheadhonach, then back to take in Cnoc na Nathrac before heading along the burnside gap in the forest to the track through Glen Sgionie back to the start. 3.15 hours round. | summitter | 17/05/2019 |

| Stob Breac, An Stuchd, Beinn Mheadhonach and Cnoc na Nathrach from Inverlochlarig. Short unpleasant section of forest to reach easy open ground then track along Glen Sgionie. Almost continuous rain. | RobertP | 26/08/2018 |
| From Inverlochlarig via the zigzags and the vestigial path on the NE (near) side of the Allt a'Choire Bhan, which requires some grassy ledgework where the sidewalls close in around a waterfall. Thence to the ridge, circling North to take in the North Tp, Stob Bhreac itself, the South Top, Far South Top, An Stuchd, Beinn Mheadonach after a steady descent, and the pleasant viewpoint of Cnoc na Nathrach, with its embedded quartz summit. I made the mistake of crossing the dilapidated deer fence and floundering in the mud and serried trees of the Darien Gap between there and the start of the Glen Sgoinie track. | Nick Down1 | 29/04/2018 |
| meall gaothach, taobh na coille south top, taobh na coille, an stuchd, beinn mheadhonach from the south biked in to edra. | robertphillips | 25/06/2017 |
| Started from small parking area about a mile along the track beyond Loch Voil hostel. Track then a reasonable combination of fire breaks up to Stob Breac, nicely south along the ridge to An Stuchd across to Taobh na Coille seeing a badger on the way at about 1.00pm in the open then north to Beinn Stacach. In descent missed best line I think due to misplacing my compass, so a bit of a struggle through the trees. | dickscroop | 05/11/2016 |
| Solo. From car park at the start of the track to Inverlochlarig. After reaching Stob Breac went south with easy grassy slopes to reach Stob Breac South Top, Stob Breac Far South Top and An Stuchd. Went over Cnoc na Nathrach to round off the day. | pwbellarby | 04/08/2016 |

| Solo from Road end to Corbett Stob a'Choin. Steep up through wet grass to gain North ridge. Both tops to ensure summit. Onto sub Hump and other tops to Graham Stob Breac ridge. Mist and rain after the CTs. Back over Stob Breac Graham and tops. | nordicstar | 11/08/2013 |
