Solo. Snowy, cold conditions with drifting snow lying in the estate tracks. You can park by a gate without blocking at 928256. Start down the track towards Auchterteang and carry on, taking the right turns at estate track junctions as per the OS map. There is an ATV track which leaves the estate track heading wet to the summit with trig point. Return the same way. | DampandDusty | 29/12/2023 |
From Auchterteang on landrover tracks. Then ATV track to the summit / trig Carn Glas-Choire. Straight forward for me as I was paying attention to where I was going. However, walking companion overshot the ATV turnoff in poor visibility and carried on walking on the landrover track. Was heading for the edge of the map into the abyss and here be dragons territory. 
Descended over Carn nan Eagan with no further incidents. 
Not the nicest of days with low cloud and dampness. Last hour of walk out was in rain.

With E. From estate road leading to Auchterteang then continuing on tracks past Garrocher. Where track comes alongside head of Allt Glas-choire there is now an unmarked track heading SW, over peat ground then becoming a stone track leading to summit and trig point. Return same route. Saw no-one. We had the hill to ourselves with weather dry and cloudless. | Beeliner | 07/09/2023 |

Parked at 929258. Normal route through Auchterteang up good tracks. Plenty of wildlife including hares, lapwing, curlew, cuckoo, an unidentified small grey bird of prey and an unidentified much larger grey bird of prey, possibly an osprey? Wall to wall sunshine, calm, very dry underfoot, slightly hazy views to the northern Cairngorms. A surprisingly good short outing before the long drive home. | Owen B | 29/05/2023 |

From Tom nan Gabhar, walked NW to bend in road, followed road uphill for a bit then over to summit. | 187lenny | 02/04/2023 |
Room for a couple of cars ~125m up the track to Auchterteang, at the cattle grid and the 'No Unauthorized Vehicles Beyond Here' sign. Estate are happy at walkers parking here. Good estate track leads up. Tom nan Gabhar first then across to here. On to Carn Loisgte, Creag a Bhainne, Carn nan Eagan and return for a 19k round. | jonglew | 20/03/2023 |

With Cnapan a’ Choire Odhair Mhoir. Parked at a handy spot just south of the track from Auchterteang. Biked in, decent enough track for that. Left bike at the split 1km from the green hut. Then walked a circular walk back to the bike. stunning views of the high gorms. Tons of wildlife on these. | hils | 05/08/2022 |

Parked forestry entrance (now widened) at 929258. Biked past Auchterteang, now occupied, as far as junction at 906284, with skill it should be possible to bike to nearly the summit. Sun and snow plus a cold wind. Superb views. | iangalbraith | 22/05/2021 |

Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
Been on the to do list for far too long and lockdown forced me into it as it was my closest unbaked trig. Chose a very hot day but we both enjoyed being out in the fresh air. Great views. Good track nearly all the way from B9007. Parked in lay-by across the road from track in the Grantown direction. | thejackrustles | 14/07/2020 |
Parked along Auchterteang track by cattle grid. Followed estate tracks to coll NE OF summit. Had a good wander around summit area. V high winds, frequent heavy horizontal snow showers difficult to stand at top. | CJM | 22/02/2020 |
