This is a seriously long outing. Be aware - the track that runs alongside the loch has suffered some erosion. In several places this has left the path dangerously close to the edge. In at least two places it has disappeared completely into the loch. This is not so much a problem in daylight, however if you are returning by this route in the dark, this could cause a major problem. It is however a wonderfully remote setting and this shouldn't in any way detract from a spectacular route.

If you are looking for a lift up Loch Mullardoch, this is now provided by Angus Hughes, Tel 07725334927 . No idea what he charges as we unfortunately went in the stalking season when he does not operate the boat. Makes for a long walk!

Karl the boatman charges £25 per person if there are 2 and £15pp for more than 2 and there is a bridge over Allt Taige if needed - it's approx 2km from the mouth of the river however!

A wonderfully remote summit. Reached after sunset to complete the set of four on a superb day of blue skies and fresh snow. After taking the south ridge at a gallop it was head torches on from the corrie below back along the loch to the car. The path is intermittent and difficult to follow in some parts and watch out for the fording of the bridge-less Allt Taige - was tricky under black-ice in the dark but would be even worse in spate.

Climbed on a misty day in May 06, we took a boat from the Mullardoch Dam to end of Loch Mullardoch which took 40 minutes with 5 people in the boat. Ascended the hill via a boggy path next to the Allt Socrach and then by the south east ridge up to the summit.
A fine circuit can be made by continuing along the ridge which includes some easy scrambling, taking in two tops of the neighbouring hill An Riabhachan before descending back to Mullardoch. We took the boat back to Mullardoch Dam as well on the return! The circuit was approximately 6 hours in total.

Karl the boatman lives at Benula lodge at end of road by Mullardoch Dam on N shore (tel 01456 415347). Trips to West end, approx £10 per head - subject to loch not too choppy - we had to walk as boat cancelled due to windy weather. 8km walk along N shore variable terrain on small path (allow 2.5 - 3hrs). Bridges over Allt Socrach and Allt Coire a Mhaim by bothy, crossing of Allt Taige will involve wet feet in spate. Superb walking along SE ridge Meall a' Chaisg to An Socach summit - avoids corrie peat hags.

14th June 2007. We approached from An Riabhachan. To return to Gleann Innis an Loichel we descended by the grassy north ridge and stayed on it as it curved eastwards before crossing the Allt a’ Choire Ghuirm. If descending from the An Riabhachan bealach, care should be taken to find a grassy line to avoid the stones and crags. The contouring route to Clach an
Daimh is straightforward.

Climbed it on 18.6.05. My 7th ascent, being 4th & last one of the day. 1st time I've seen aught on way from An Rhibhachan, well worth the wait. Found the view up the ridge quite stunning. Was a spectacular day, clear blue cloudless skies, with a cold wind high up. At the cairn were two women, sat drinking coffee. We went to bothy (Meall Buidhe) but was raining by time we got there. For such a big hill its slopes off to the N. are very friendly. Just confirms me in my view that my favourite hills are these Mullardoch 4. Each time I say, this could well be my last visit, one time it will be.
