Parked at the end of Glen Hinnisdal and followed the track out to cross a little metal bridge off to the right. Continued on the N side of the stream later crossing it to a gate in the fence at NG4553 5879. Continued up, going right of the cliffs, to the col, then a very pleasant walk up to the summit. Also visited the cairn, then on to Sgurr a'Mhadaidh. | LizH | 30/05/2023 |

After sarnie break at previous peak headed over to this peak, fantastic ridge, really enjoying today. Company: Solo | iandesbottes | 12/05/2018 |
parked overnight at The Old Man of Storr car park and in glorious weather but quite brisk wind finally made a one way traverse all the way up the Trotternish ridge. Came off it before Bioda Mor as I'd summitted it before and I wanted to get up Cleat and take a look at the two tricky other two little TuMPs off under the eastern cliffs. Great day had a sting in the tail. never got a lift and faced a gruelling 13 miles walk back which added another 5 hours till 2.25am Ouch! Deliriously tired. | vegibagger | 02/06/2017 |
End of the super switchback walk on the leg from Beinn Edra- on Uig- Beinn Edra- Hartaval- Kensaleyre traverse of the central part of the Trotternish ridge. Cloud had cleared to give a good view back and a fine view forward. The way to Boca Buidhe looked straightforward- a path had been worn and I thought compass work and keeping to ridges most of the way would be straightforward from there. Stunning scenery. | pwheeler | 17/06/2016 |
