| Parked just before bridge on the way to Succothmore. Beinn Lagan reached via climb on N side of Cam Allt, return to track then S to end of track and up into Coire Aodainn, then summit of Beinn Dubhain. There is a new deer fence running round the coire, not shown on current mapping. Contoured round to climb Carnach Mor then easy descent WNW. | RobertP | 01/06/2024 |
| With the Argyll Mountaineering Club, via Lauder Monument, deep snow at the summit and a stupendous view. | DavieRuts | 25/02/2024 |
| Loop of Beinn Dubhain, Creag Sgoilte, Beinn Bheula & Carnach Mòr from John Lauder Memorial carpark. Took the hydro scheme track that skirts around the forest (due to forestry works) up to ~300 m contour. From here on just bog and grass (nothing too bad) around the horseshoe. Sadly zero visibility. | Tisteln | 21/02/2024 |
| From Invermoaden first to Carnach Mor then round the corrie to here. Minto also bagged Beinn Bheula as well as these 2 Simms. Time and terrain made us decide to leave the other 2 Simms to the SE for another day. | NormanW | 07/01/2024 |
| Clockwise from Invermoaden, small parking area for Lauder Memorial, up the track round the edge of the forest to the dam. The track is horribly eroded. From Carnach went to Beinn Bheula then Beinn Dubhain. Returned across country to the dam track. | Minto | 07/01/2024 |
| Invernoaden circuit from memorial CP up very steep hydro track to filter bed, then Carnach Mor over a new deer fence, Caisteal Dubh, Creag Sgoilte, Beinn Dubhain and back by its NW ridge and then an easy route W down the river from 132977 back to the forestry track. This mountain is like an enormous sponge. | sclater | 08/04/2023 |
| Parked at memorial car park for a circuit of 4 Simms: Sgurr a' Choinnich, Cnoc na Tri Criche, Beinn Dubhain (visited both summits), Carnach Mor. | PGCE | 16/09/2022 |
| The Invernoaden horseshoe. From memorial car park (NS 1230 9747). Zig-zag forest road to last zig (NS 1274 9750), then direct line up following burn till clear of forest. On to Creag Sgoilte, Beinn Bheula, Carnach Mor and return for an 11.8k round. | jonglew | 11/09/2022 |
| A clockwise round of the Invernoaden horseshoe. Up a forestry track from said hamlet, until trees clear to the east allowing a crossing over the unnamed burn SW of Carnach Mor. An unrelenting slog up the SW flank to the wonderfully craggy Tur nan Calman before Carnach Mor proper. Bit of a drop and re-climb to Beinn Bheula and Creag Sgoilte, then WSW to Beinn Dubhain. A NW descent brought us eventually to a track which leads through Loch Eck Forest to a car park near to the unfortunate John Lauder. | summitter | 19/06/2022 |

| Started in Forestry Commission car park. Went up through woods. | Oh no I forgot... | 29/08/2019 |
| zig-zagged up through forestry tracks to Coire Aodainn from a car park with acess to the memorial just south of Invernoaden, only find there's a new track to a new small HEP scheme along the edge of the forestry, later used in descent from Carnach Mor. | KeithByTheC | 29/08/2019 |
