There are crags on the direct route to the saddle between Fuar Bheinn and Creach Bheinn. Head roughly NW until clear of the crags, then veer NNE to the broad saddle (540m, 85390 57410). Head just left of E up grass and scattered crags to the summit of Creach Bheinn (3hr 55min, 853m, 87070 57640). The summit is marked by a rock wall surrounding the remains of the trig point marked on the OS map.

The descent is NE, veering E, over fairly rocky terrain to a saddle (715m, 87720 58030) from where it would be possible to descend S. Our route continues easily up to the summit of Maol Odhar (4hr 30min, 794m, 88140 57950). Continue down the ridge, SE veering E, looking out for aircraft remains. After about 400m, head SE down grassy slopes, gradually veering SW, to a broad saddle (510m, 88470 56500) and then on to the summit of Meall nan Each (5hr 10min, 591m, 88340 56120).

Continue SSW over several minor tops to Peak 535 (87990 54865) from where a faint path leads down the Druim na Maodalaich ridge. Near the bottom of the ridge head W down steep rough slopes to the B8043 (86700 52900) and turn right back to the parking area (6hr 35min).
