From Cougie. Onto Carn a ChaochainAndrew Simmons25/07/2023
Route over Carn a'Chaochain from Glen Moriston. Parked W of Dundreggan opposite start of path. Took path, leading to vehicle track until just S of Beinn Bhan. Left track and contoured at just below 500m for several km in roughly westerly direction. Climbed to summit of Carn a' Chaochain, Carn a' Chaochain North Top. Continued to Carn a' Choire Leith. Descended SE to rejoin ascent route and return to start. Good views to Affric mountains, then rain at end of route.RobertP08/05/2022
Circuit from Hilton. Visited cairn and boulder. 4/9PGCE05/05/2022
Parked in the trekking centre car park, they are happy with that,. Do not park immediately before the trekking centre, Estate are very unhappy with that. Late start so settled on short walk. Straight up through the gap in the trees on a very clear path to Carn a Chaochain. Wind and snow became a problem then but crossed over to Carn a Choire Leith and straight vback down.dickscroop18/04/2022

Bagging this peak from the South (A87) is made considerably easier with the new track starting opposite the phone box at NH308133. Very cyclable provided you have good brakes!BaggerGutt10/09/2020
