From Craig. Cut across directly from small plantation on track. Good rising traverse once across stream. Dreich on the tops. Onto new Munro and then across to next missing MT. With Bryher.jenx08/06/2022
Maoile Lunndaidh (actual summit currently Creag Toll a' Choin) from Achnashellach on foot. Set off from Achnashellach at 7am in the dark, but was light enough to turn the head torch off by 8:30am. Reached the jump off point before Glenuig Lodge by 9am, into a fairly horrible boggy trudge across to the two waterfalls (Am Crom-allt / Allt an Fhuar-thuill Bhig) at around 385m and then a steep 420m ascent up the wet heather to just over the 800m mark where it became less steep. After that it was just a grassy/mossy walk up to Carn Nam Fiaclan. Walked on up to the actual summit Creag Toll a' Choin, where the tiny cairn was buried under a small patch of residual snow, and then headed on up to the Moaile Lunndaidh cairn, before descending NW, and then West back to the track out. 7h 28min total time.mproudfoot31/12/2021
Solo, d Inverness 5.40am, d Craig 6.50am, 9km running up track under low cloud but an inversion had been forecast and sure enough I climbed steeply out of cloud around NH117564 with a glory on my shadow! Then a glorious day with sunshine and views. Delightful running on this plateau.NorfolkPT2122/07/2021

A 33.5km, 3 Munro epic at Glenuig, climbing Sgurr Choinnich, Sgurr a' Chaorachain & Maoile Lunndaidh. Tricky with 45mph gusts but a cracking day out.Chris Mac13/04/2019
From Craig to Glenuaig Lodge, then an ATV track leads from the lodge to the river, but there is no crossing point, so went back W until could splash across. Crossed An Crom-allt at NH 11255 46748 where a path climbs out, up the E bank, then peters out. Zig-zag'd up NW flank on heather, slime and greasy rocks, to Carn nam Fiaclan (no signs of other humans having used this often recommended route in texts) and on to summit. Because of the challenging river crossings, returned to Carn nam Fiaclan and descended over greasy rocks and then a fair path down W ridge to Drochaid Mhuillich, then down E flank of Sron na Frianich until could cross over and head for the plantation and back down to Craig.Isbjorn Winter Round21/02/2019

RBS HWC May weekend at Torridon; I rose early and left the YH at 0700, I stopped several times along the Kinlochewe road to take photos; I parked at Craig, assembled my bike and left the car park at 0815; I pushed the bike up the hill in towards Maoile Lunndaidh feeling rough (too much breakfast); I left the shed / bothy at about 10.00, cross the river and headed across very rough ground before a steep ascent towards teh minor top; the tranverse to the Maoile Lunndaidh summit was simple as the visibility was ok, although cloud cover closed in on the main summit; I descended to the col and then headed back across rough ground (not as bad on descent) to the bike; I had to get off and push on occasions on the way out but the final downhill section was well worth the effort. Back at the car by 1610 (a commendable 8 hours).langskill23/05/2015
