| From the unsurfaced parking area on the W side of the A82 at Lochan na h-Achlaise, crossing the A82, going through the lefthand of two gateless entrances and following the ATV track running 10 yards to the left of the right hand fence. The track starts as it means to continue, evasively and in a watery morass, but it improves with height and the short ascent is anyway more then repaid by the views from the ridge to leading to the summit. A lovely spot on a sunny day. | Nick Down1 | 24/08/2022 |
| From the layby on the A82 At Lochan na h-Achlaise. Short walk along a footpath from layby to a fence which is easily stepped over. Then picked up an ATV track north of the plantation fence which pretty much goes all the way up onto the ridge. Short walk NE along ridge to summit. | Jossker | 27/05/2022 |
| CDMC Glencoe meet. Great viewpoint. | clashcityrocker | 08/05/2022 |
| With: hb; Left car by county boundary signs. Walked up to Mobile mast then path to summit. Visited memorial then returned to road and climbed Glas Bhenn. Great views across Rannoch Moor. | Ian Baines | 06/05/2022 |
| Nice views across to Blackmount.Surprisingly quiet! | davechaffey | 24/03/2022 |
| A very good short walk with superb views over Rannoch Moor and Loch Tulla. Route as per Bolton. The ATV track expires in a grassy hollow slightly below the ridge and is hard to see unless you've got one of those GPS thingies. Dumbo here missed it on the way down and went too far down the ridge. No worries, I got down easily enough at the next dip and found good deer tracks back to the ATV track. | Gill | 20/11/2021 |
| Cycled from Achallader, over the Water of Tulla, to due south of Glas Bheinn. Then walked along a forest edge over boggy ground to the main ridge east of Creagan Criche. Lovely final stretch to the summit given the snowy summits of the Glencoe and Nevis mountains against the blue skies of a typical cold but clear Scottish Spring day. | summitter | 09/04/2021 |
| From the layby due west on the A82. Followed the ATV track north of the plantation fence, which turned south east towards the SW end of the summit ridge. Lovely views across Rannoch Moor, and to the Black Mount and Bridge of Orchy hills. | Owen B | 15/08/2020 |

| From the layby at 314473 with CM. A track takes you up to a removed gate between two fences. Keep to the left side of the fence going uphill and the track takes you easily to the ridge. Just over one hour return. | bolton | 18/05/2019 |

| From layby on A82, almost due W of summit. Surprisingly dry and crunchy underfoot after some dry weather, making this one easier than expected. (route taken is shown on: http://gayleybird.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/tinto-and-glas-bheinn.html) | Gayle | 09/05/2016 |
| Alone in late afternoon smash and grab. Great light over moor | SpudGunn | 09/03/2016 |
| From anglers' parking space just N of county boundary. Followed a landrover track, sirting a serious bog , then onto a dry ridge above the boggy moor. Viewpoints over Rannoch Moor are always worthwhile, this hill is an excellent one. Same way back though. | pwheeler | 22/05/2015 |

| from county boundary after Meall Mor. Bog was frozen so didn't use the handy 4wd track 50m N of the deer fence. Fine viewpoint. 2 hrs to do both Marilyns, which I imagine will be visited by few. | Thearlaichdubh | 22/11/2013 |
