Unusually strong summer winds - 60 mph in places - combined with Covid breathlessness made this feel like a high altitude climb. Fine hill, though, worth the effort. | AndyS | 10/08/2022 |
Parked near entrance to Kinloch Lodge for a circuit of 4 fine rocky summits: Carn a' Mhadaidh, Meallan Liath, Creag Riabhach Mhor and Meallan Liath NE Top. Out and back via track and good stalker's path. | PGCE | 06/05/2021 |

Climbing goodish ground and rock from Carn a'Mhadaidh and on to NE Top. Stood on top of the rock, just in case tamperer does the same. | Eddie | 19/08/2016 |
Poor thing destined to neither Marilyn nor Simm. Interesting route finding from NE top. | Martin R | 23/05/2016 |
Climbed from Kinloch. Track to 270m contour then direct ascent of top (Pt 501). Around ridge on complex terrain to summit. Had an easier descent to head of track at Carn a'Mhadaidh bealach and return along track. | Chris Peart | 25/11/2012 |
fine rocky summit; fine views. from Kinloch Cottage via N Top | RHW | 18/09/2003 |
From Ben Hope East Top. Tricky coming down the steep slope (I fell a bit of the way). | Alan Moore | 30/05/1995 |
