| Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Dropped off in the enlarged passing place before road goes down hill. Keep to east of deer fence & follow it around the corner. Very wet and tough going after already doing an 8km walk this morning! Note you have to cross a river, my colleague choose the slippy looking log and fence, I walked further up stream but still got wet feet crossing on the way and on the way back. | thejackrustles | 02/06/2024 |
| From An Cruachan with Jon. | lordtonult | 12/05/2024 |
| Parked in largish passing place at high point on road. From there followed deer fence before heading for summit. Rather squidgy underfoot. | Crumblie2 | 24/05/2023 |
| Parked car in the enlarged passing place before road goes down hill. Keep to east of deer fence & follow it around the corner. Going OK today. Then started looking for a line of 13 rivets on rock all the way to the trig, Then descend towards An Cruachan a P30 before going back to my car. | Dugswell2 | 23/05/2023 |

| Easy walk up from road. Worth going over to rocky 294 top to west. | Mattbrolly | 18/07/2020 |
| As others parking near the 113 spot height just before the road loses height. Short 1hr in blustery wind but dry. | N.Morters | 21/02/2020 |
| From good parking just below the 113 spotheight. Followed the deer fence and then directly to the summit. Great views of the islands. Just over one hour solo return. | bolton | 28/09/2019 |

| From pt 113 on C class road, NG648118. N, up true L bank of stream in spate until could cross at deep, but narrow, channel. Delightful soft, smooth grass almost direct to summit - a very welcome change from the toody awful blussock grass that had plagued my last fortnight or so. | Isbjorn | 20/06/2019 |
| Continuation from An Cruachan, passing a tiny gorge with stepped water slides before ascending to the rocky summit of Sgorach Breac. Superb 360 views from the trig point. Straightforward return to road at pt 113. | Nick Down1 | 27/05/2019 |
| An easy walk from pt 113 on the road where there is a good parking area. Up the ridge E of the fence, easy stream crossing (dry) then up a series of bumps on fairly easy ground interspersed with rough stuff to the rather unusual summit, a lump of rock adorned with a trig. Very fine views. | Gill | 23/05/2019 |
| A day trip to Skye - Arrive at Armadale and decide to explore the Sleat from minor road to Ord (113m) we follow deer fence and meander though the landscape the summit trig. Very quiet with fabulous views of the Cuillins beyond. After a coast walk from Ord a stop at Toskavaig castle and another walk into Gleann Meadhonach and that it time to return for the ferry. | briandavies | 01/05/2019 |

| Straightforward from road near highpoint. Trigpoint seemed close but took longer than it appeared to reach (30-35 minutes). Decent views all round. | willyross | 18/10/2018 |

| From pt 113m on road to the south, ascended towards fence, roughly followed fence line, managed to get over the stream which was rather full from the rain and then when at the corner of the fence headed straight to the summit. Nice sun rise with good views all around although not all summits were clear. Could see fresh snow on the Black Cullin. Nice early morning ascent. | assynt_bob | 28/03/2016 |
| MC JC O. Lovely ascent from the high point of the road. Followed the burn up and managed to cross it - just - as it was in spate. O bounded across in one large canine leap! A strong and bitter westerly blowing in occasional hail and snow showers. Got the top clear. Return by same route. | Martin66 | 20/02/2016 |
