| Bike from Killilan to Carnach and then an easy walk up the stalkers path on the east side of Allt Coire Easaich with Dangerous Dave and CM. Then easily direct west to the summit. | bolton | 24/05/2023 |
| Biked to Carnach. Great path up beyond the waterfall, then easy grass slopes to the summit. Fabulous views from the cairn. With Chris & Phil. | Dangerous Dave | 24/05/2023 |
| With DC & PM. | CJM | 24/05/2023 |
| Biked to Carnach. A really old man made track up Coire Easaich, sometimes overgrown but worth finding. | iangalbraith | 30/08/2022 |
| From Morvich using the hill path to the Falls. Over river and steeply up to summit. Return same way. Good views. | N.Morters | 18/08/2022 |
| A surprisingly easy and pleasant day. Bike from Killilan to Carnach, easy, lots of tarmac. Over the bridge at Carnach onto the vehicle track, then R fork at the burn onto the most amazing stalker's path up Coire Easach. It looks most improbable from below but manages to cross 2 ancient landslips and dodges easily up some incredibly steep ground. Highly recommended. Higher up on the moor, the path has been ground into oblivion to form a track for ATVs. When the track crosses the Allt Coire Easaich, you can see an ATV track going up the hill to give easy going about half way up, then easy ground to the top. Fine views despite rain and murk. It's also very easy descending off piste to the loch. Even heavy rain on the way down didn't spoil the day and the rain stopped shortly after I got back back on the bike - bonus! | Gill | 01/07/2022 |
| On the way down from Sgurr Gaorsaic to bike in Glen Elchaig. | Topographer57 | 28/06/2019 |
| From Camas-luinie. Along path on S side of Glen Elchaig then crossing bridge to track on N side. Crossed a very low River Elchaig to take stalkers' path running up W of Carnan Cruithneachd then near high point headed up to top of Carnan Cruithneachd (fine summit). Crossed to Suie Dhu, down to top of falls of Glomach, across stream then steeply up to Meall Sguman. Return to Falls of Glomach and down impressive path to cross bridge to the Glen Elchaig track. Hot sunny day. | RobertP | 02/07/2018 |

| After the Graham. Crossing the river above the Falls was a bit of a challenge after all the wet weather. Then straight up to the top. Wild goats for company. Beautiful views up and down the Glen. Spectacular scenery. Straight back down to the bridge and bikes. Region 11 complete. | jenx | 15/08/2016 |
| After climbing the Graham Carnan Cruithneachd via the Falls of Glamach path dropped back to the falls and steep up Sguman. Direct back down NW ridge to bridge crossing and bikes out to Killilan. | nordicstar | 15/08/2016 |
| From Morvich. Excellent stalker's path all the way to Falls off Glomach which are spectacular despite little water. Final steep climb up to summit plateau with superb views down Glen Elchaig. Back by same route. Got roasted in unrelenting sun and heat. | Campbell Singer | 06/06/2016 |

| After ascending Sgùrr na h-Eige went S to Creag Ghlas, Stùc Fraoch Choire. This top is a Murdo and was my last Murdo. It was also the last Murdo for one of the friends I was with. This top was not until recent times a Munro top and so had not been done on my first completion of the Munro tops. We continued to Stùc Mòr and Stùc Bheag. I went alone over Meall Sguman on the way back to Carnach and by bike to Killilin. The weather was cloudy but mostly dry during the day, with cloud-free summits. | pwbellarby | 27/06/2009 |
