Creag Leacach is effectively a summit on the winding south-west ridge of Glas Maol, the flanks of the ridge being steep rocky slopes. The summit ridge is the normal access route from Glas Maol with a dry stone wall defining the route between the summits.

This hill can mark the beginning of a rewarding outing where 6 Munro's can be collected quite comfortably, to do this though it would be best if you had two cars or a car and bike. The initial climb up this hill is probably the hardest part of the day, with the remainder being a high-level walk with very little re-ascent, I don't think one drops below 800m. Some fien views can be had as well. The whole route from Creag Leacach to Carn an Tuirc (6 peaks) and a 5km bike ride took just over 6 hours.
