1 of 3 | thekirkie pirate | 06/04/2023 |
Solo from layby across from the Buachaille car park. Followed WHW East until a gate and then took a wet path up by fenceline to the ridgeline where the now intermittent path took me up to Stob Beinn a'Chrùlaiste. Intermittent path from there up to the corbett summit and was at the top in 1h 18min. Very low cloud meant no summit views (and some moody partial views across to the Buachaille from Stob Beinn a'Chrùlaiste). Decided to retrace my steps back down - total time 2h 20min. | mproudfoot | 11/02/2023 |
Parked by the little electricity substation on the no through road N of the King's House. Followed an intermittent path on the E side of Allt a'Bhaliach (preferable to the ATV track on the W side, unless you like mud), crossing and following the SE ridge to the summit of Beinn a'Chrulaiste. Snowfields made the circuit of Meall Bhalach and its E top pleasantly peat hag free, before descending to the Allt a'Bhalaich. | Nick Down1 | 05/03/2022 |

During a frequently wet week in Fort Bill with Shaky & Smithy. After early morning rain, parked at Altnafeadh, went through the gate 200m E along the road on the WHW & then struck off up the hillside picking up the very wet path leading back round & then winding up the W ridge. The path is less well defined higher up as the going gets better, but a great view at the top across Rannoch Moor, into Glen Coe & of course across to the Buachaille. Down by the same route, not long before the rain started yet again. | NotReallyABagger | 11/09/2017 |
