Parked at NN572446 and followed track to approx NN587461. Ascended on clearing through felled forest. Followed ridge to summit.BaggerGutt29/04/2023
From Balmenoch, footpath west of Gleann Da-eig, then followed wall and fence posts to near top, useful in snow and mist. Dropped back down to gleann.screeleep14/04/2023
Had 2 cars, so left one at at of the car parks nearer bridge of balgie. Climbed the Corbett (again) by following the wall, then along the ridge to this hill, not bad terrain. The forest to the west has been felled so its easy to drop down to the track.hils18/03/2022
Parked as others just before bridge on minor track at Camusvrachan. Up the footpath on West side of Gleann Da-eig, then cut off to cross wall and fence. Old metal fence posts and mangled wire followed to within a few metres of the high point.NormanW04/03/2022
From ENE, parking area at Camusvrachan N side of river bridge. Up E ridge following old fenceline, grassy with minor crags to avoid. E top makes Simmbeag status apparently. Sunny morningRHW06/06/2021

From car park next to cairn at pass: Meall nan Maigheach ; Creag nan Eildeag and on return tried to contour east side but did not work out so came back over main top on what was in any case easy ground.dickscroop22/08/2018
First hill of a walk: Camusvrachan- Creag nan Eildeag- Meall nam Maigheach- Dubh Chnocan- Balnahanaid- Camusvrachan walk. A good start, out of a lovely valley, fine view of the hill ahead, then up alongside a fence to the top of broken, craggy ground. Best views are from the ENE Top (down Glen Lyon) and a cairn WSW of the HP (up Glen Lyon). Well worthwhile. With Petepwheeler30/05/2018
Some rough ground on route from Meall Luaidhe, better terrain a bit further east, fine once past the col and a nice rocky summit.alda24/08/2015
