The Brack is usually climbed from Glen Croe, often in conjunction with Ben Donich. A traverse of the mountain can also be made by linking the direct ascent from Glen Croe with a descent via the south west ridge to the head of the Coilessan Glen. It may also be climbed from Lochgoilhead. Glen Croe, the Arrochar Alps, Ardgartan and Loch Goil are home to pine martens and eagles because of the rugged terrain.
