As others from parking by the pipeline. After heavy rain it was a relief to get up and down in the dry. | NormanW | 10/05/2022 |
From P at Derrydaroch, over railway footbridge beside a prominent pipeline then straight up to a good vehicle track which took us a fair way before a climb up frozen bogs to the various wee tops on the summit. | sclater | 12/01/2021 |

Started at Falls of Falloch. Took a track opposite the car park entrance till it ended at the railway line. Hopped over the railway fence and up the flank of Clach na Briton. Tough terrain, but aided by frozen ground and bright sunshine. Eventually got to Cruachan Cruinn then headed NE to Creagan Soilleir. Mostly frozen bog, as was the continuation to Fiarach, with a helpful old fence line to follow much of the way. Wanted to do a stretch of the West Highland Way as it was such a lovely day, so took in Craw Knowe en route, tracking the forest edge for a couple of kms. Once on WHW I went towards Glasgow, eventually getting back to the Falls of Falloch. Had to go past the Falls and cross the river by balancing on a useful fallen tree. | summitter | 15/11/2019 |
Craw Knowe, Cruachan Cruinn and Fiarach from car park on A82 approx 2km SW of Crianlarich. Climbed through mist to see the tops, camped fairly close to Fiarach summit. Very wet underfoot. | RobertP | 21/12/2018 |
Parked gate SE quick up and down. | robertphillips | 04/02/2018 |
Parked by gate (NN 364 234), crossed the road to track and followed this a short distance to WHW. Then directly up grassy hillside to summit. Evening walk with Lindsay. | Rod M | 30/08/2017 |
WHW from Crianlarich then up alongside the trees. Surprisingly complex terrain around the summit, with lots of knolls to visit. Without Alda's survey, i wouldn't have known which to choose. | Colin Crawford | 17/08/2016 |
Very wet underfoot but a pretty good hill, summit is 100m SW from cairn | alda | 13/03/2015 |
