From the car park at north end of Loch Awe. Managed to slip on wet rock near the summit. Fell heavily on my rib cage (Broken, cracked, bruised rib - who knows, but it hurt!)Geoff Briggs15/08/2024

Only hill on wet weekend in Ullapool. Steady pull from road to the top. Moderate views with Suliven appearing and disappearing as cloud rolled in from the sealangskill27/08/2023
Solo. The suggested Walk Highland route from the west. Unfortunately cloud cover at the top, which was intermittent. Ascent/descent very stony.DampandDusty30/07/2023

From the lay-by on the A837 at the N end of Loch Awe. Straight up and back sticking to the SW side of the hill on vague paths through the rocks and boulders (not the WH route). Rather uninspiring plod up a dip-slope sadly unenlivened by any views. Excellent summit wind shelter. 12.8km, 3h 50 with a dodgy legRockdoctor26/05/2023
With: hb; From A837 at N end of Loch Awe, followed the excellent path up SW slopes to summit. Returned via a more northerly route to rejoin outward path lower down. Stunning views.Ian Baines21/05/2023

With John from A837 car park/lay-by. Over the footbridge at the head of the loch then we kind of ignore the paths and gpx routes and just made our own route up and down. Very wet down low, and crusty snow above 600m, but fairly easy going. Summit was in clag with a biting cold wind, so didn't stay at the shelter cairn for long. Total time: 4h 13min.mproudfoot07/01/2023

From good roadside pull-in at NC 2502 1613. Sort of track most of the way up. Trig surface block in the larger of the summit cairns. Meallan Liath Mor on the return.jonglew29/11/2022

Will not be remembered as a favourite Corbett - endless stones and boulders. Not steep and good views from the top were redeeming factorscarole engel04/09/2021
Last done in snow on 27/12/21 so a bit different this time in beautiful sunshine. FRom A837 car park at the end of Loch Awe, up on the path over the boggy bit then up the left ridge for good views and down the centre picking the various paths up on the way down 7.8 miles just under 4hrs moving time.JulieB27/08/2021

From A837 at N end of Loch Awe, surprisingly good track (while dry) W past lochs and continuing up the hill, including a fine section up gently sloping quarztite slabs, then more or less straight up using less stony areas and intermittent tracks as possible to summit, return same waykdbennett19/08/2020
