Walked out from Achnacarry Steading, accomm for the week. Up through waterfall car park on hydro track initially, then a wide logging road, zig-zagging till on E side of the hill, then straight up through steep rubbish to a lovely clear top. | jonglew | 30/11/2023 |

Up from CP on a excellent track. Hedious deep Heather. | Play2End | 17/05/2023 |
Parked at Eas Chia-aig for a circuit of Beinn Chraoibh, Carn Dubh, Meall Tarsuinn, Meall na h-Eilde West Top, Meall an Tagraidh and Torr a' Chronain (much easier than anticipated after reading earlier logs: followed faint deer track from NN 1806 8928 up to summit area, then through deep heather. Almost easy). | PGCE | 23/03/2023 |
The path from the car park leads to a new hydro road which gets you to within 200m of the top. Alas, it's all awful, as Rob describes, though the crags aren't too steep to prevent progress. Disliking the heather, I elected to descend by a slightly more direct route to the track, only to be ambushed by prickly young sitka. Not nice. 
If anyone finds a copy of LR41 up there, it's mine | Colin Crawford | 16/09/2017 |
From S, straight up from road, worryingly steep at half height, annoyingly brashy above, then found path which may or may not come from car park, then waist high heather via W summit to higher E summit, heathery knoll. Planned to descend N to forest road but it cliffs out. Descended S to path, followed it E then N to join main forest road which leads down to public road. #8752 then back to car park. | RHW | 01/05/2017 |
