Creag Mac Ranaich is a craggy hill overlooking Glen Ogle which would make for the shortest approach. However paths/tracks approach the peak from Glen Kendrum to the SE and Ledcharrie to the NW. The longer route from Ledcharrie is the preferred approach as it approaches the crag free N ridge.

1st August 2007. We parked at Lochearnhead and took the Citylink bus to the top of Glen Ogle. We followed the southern edge of the wood, climbed above the sporadic crags, then
across tedious, trackless heather to the summit ridge. LOTS of blaeberries. We continued to the bealach with Meall an t-Seallaidh by aiming south-west beyond a small lochan to a grassy dip. Steep grass all the way down. The track up Glen Kendrum now extends to this bealach.

Good weather, so opted for the ascent from glen ogle....easy to avoid crags to the east and south of the summit, nice approach to summit from the NE...parking at numerous spots near glen ogle 'summit'.

Linking this mountain with Meall an t-Seallaidh is quite straightforward, despite what the guidebooks say. It clear weather the routes are obvious, but it mist its more complicated.
