Climbed on 9/8/11 - really odd hill this one, which is as cluttered as it is made out to be. Thirty minutes from the car - something just not right about that. The views make up for it (a bit).

Climbed The Cairnwell at probably best time - just after fresh snow in November. Most of ski clutter was under snow and ski runs
were still ungroomed. Climbed this one last of Cairnwell 3, and best of all was the 5 minute descent on bums down a ski run! The
only skiers (or anyone else) we met were 2 cross-country skiers near top of Carn a' Gheoidh.

Utterly depressing place. Nothing more to say. Quite frankly it looks as if Sauron wanted to see how much damage he could inflict in one place before going on to occupy Mount Doom.

This hill is a baggers dream and the easiest tick you'll ever get. Nevertheless, it should consider itself very lucky that it just happens to be within the height range of the munro. There is nothing to commend the ascent of this hill. The summit is a mess and the overwhelming feeling is to leave the summit as quickly as possible.

Steep ascent from the car park following the Cairnwell chairlift. The summit itself is a disappointment, with electrical cables, debris, barbed wire and 'telecoms' debris strewn across the ground. One to climb when the mist is down!
PS a thin covering of snow did not hide the debris!!

A much better approach to the Cairnwell starts at the large roadside car park at the base of the hill (opposite Creag Leacach), before you climb to the Ski Centre. There is an obvious track starting from the old road that leads over half way up the hill then a path takes you to the top. It's quite steep in places but avoids the ski tows and give good views down the glen during the climb.

What a hideous mess, so glad it was such a quick hill to do, i only hope that it looks better with a good covering of snow

Easy ridge walk from Carn Aosda, but watch for very steep, crumbly ascent just past the top of the chairlift. Keep as far left as you can.
