Mountain Description
Beinn Spionnaidh and Cranstackie (Corbett) are two hills in the same group and are connected by a col (565m) so that 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.

21st June 2007. We parked in a large lay-by on the A838, 200 metres south-west of Carbreck. At Rhigolter we traversed the hillside to the stream at 345568 and turned north-east to join the north-west ridge. This is mainly grassy but above 720 metres the ground is covered by boulders. We descended to the bealach with Cranstackie.
