| After doing Creag a Chalamain, headed over Castle Hill to this fine summit. The deer fence below the summit is punctuated by the the odd gate, thus allowing access without resorting to climbing. Good views for a such a lowly Cairngorm top. With Nozzer. | BigJ | 16/11/2023 |

| Solo. From Sugarbowl car park. Used path that heads towards Chalamain gap. Path very icy with fresh snow on top of ice. Left path to ascend Airgiod-meall. There's a fence to cross but there is a high stile. Continued to Creag a' Chalamain. Passed herd of free roaming reindeer who were quite unconcerned at my presence. Temperature of -9°C recorded at Cromdale this day, lowest recorded in Scotland so far this winter. | pwbellarby | 27/12/2014 |
