The forest on the track to the Lairig Leacach is currently being felled. Parking at Corriechoille is suspended to allow lorry access. A notice recommends parking two miles further back. Beyond the bothy there is a new footbridge across the Allt a’ Chuil Choirean, leading to the north-east ridge. The path by-passes the top at 750 metres on its west side. There are no quartzite rocks to impede progress. If ascending by the coire, the path follows the north side of the burn. At a large boulder, when the climbing begins, keep well to the left. Pass a sloping rocky slab on the right, then a rocky gorge, then ascend behind a grassy slope on a stony path with zig-zags. This route comes out at a small col 300 metres to the south of the lochan. The final climb begins immediately on rough quartzite all the way to the summit.
