Nice scramble, bear round the right side, passing thru a gap next to a large block and as far as the 'path' goes before a steep two move vertical climb. The way up above the block goes but is harder.nordicstar22/07/2016

Drumbeg cotage group of 8 ascent. Walk in from Kirkaig -long.. but amazing views then' pioneered' an interesting and adventurous ascent(i.e dodgy loose rock and steep grass with a few dicey moves) weaving up to left of normal S face scree route, then scrambled to west main top then back to east top and back again to central col. Descended North to gain stalkers path for long walk out via Canisp Lodge to complete a crossing by 8.30pm. Magnificent mountain and views.Chris Pearson31/03/1986

From main summitPeterD08/09/1983
Cairngorm Club Meet, Inchnadamph. Alone. From Little Assynt, going to the east side of Suilven. I went up the east side ridge to the easternmost top (Meall Beag). There was a tricky descent to the north to get to gap with next top (Meall Mheadhonach). I went up to the summits of this top and the 3rd top (Meall Mheadhonach West Top). On to the main top (Caisteal Liath) and back to the starting point. It was warm and sunny all day.pwbellarby11/07/1982
