As others visited several different tops since high point not immediately obvious on the ground, even in relatively good conditions.Tony S25/10/2019
First of a circuit from end of Loch Tarff and ending coming down the highway from the reservoir and wind farm, taking in Carn a Chuilinn.justin99921/08/2019
Visited all three possible summits, and also one more possible summit at 452078 which appeared on the ground to be as high (notice this has a 715m contour line now on OSMaps). Visibility not great and intermittent so couldn't decide which was highest.Dave McG14/01/2019
Third of five from Glen Doe wind farm road. A fair bit of snow. Long walk back across bad ground and snow to the track.Campbell Singer31/10/2018
A great short day in the snow. Had planned something much longer but very poor forecast so settled for this which worked out just right. Up from near Loch Tarf, then in the new snow I could pick out the line of an ATV track on the shoulder to E of stream which took me high up the hill then through increasingly deep snow to east of summit and along ridge to top. Pleasantly down on a line somewhat to the west of ascent to avoid crags, much glissading made for a pleasant descent to pick up the ATV track again. Snowing when I set off and windy but within 5 minutes both had stopped and had a pleasant day from then on.dickscroop05/01/2018
