Mountain Description
Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh (Corbett) are neighbouring hills connected by a col (565m) so they are always climbed together. The closest access is from the A838 at Carbreck to the NW where a track leads to the slopes below the col. An ascent is also possible from the A838 at the head of Loch Eriboll to the SE but this route up gentler slopes shows nothing of the more rugged nature of these hills . Both hills have scattered rock outcrops and crags but these are easily avoided.

wrote on July 1, 2007: 		21st June 2007. We approached from the bealach with Beinn Spionnaidh. The climb is grassy until 730 metres, after which the hill is boulder-strewn. We returned to the bealach. The descent is grassy but steep to begin with; any rocks can be avoided.
