1 of 3: From the A832 CP for Loch a Bhraoin. Up the frozen path to Leitir Fhearna and then along the Druim Reidh ridge. Snow on the ridge. Bright sunshine all day. Cold strong wind. Returned here later from A Chailleach as it looked the easier way down in the snow. With Sam. | ChrisR | 12/11/2023 |

Big day doing the 5 Western Fannichs from the usual layby on A832. 2 tops en route done for good measure. | huwthomas | 01/08/2023 |
Parked at usual start point for Western Fanniichs. Headed up A Chailleach along bypass path for Toman Coinnich. Retraced steps the up Toman Coinnich and on to Sgurr Breac. Then lost a lot of height to then climb up Sgurr nan Each and Sgurr nan Clach Geala. Then ou to the top of Carn na Criche and on to final Munro of Meall a Chrasgaidh. Lost the path on the descent ended up above some small crags so had to take care but got back down to main path and then car. Time taken 8hours 50 minutes including stops for 16.25 miles and 5708 feet of ascent. Warm and sunny all day. Super day. | isabelle | 08/06/2023 |
Loch a' Bhraoin layby - up Druim Reidh to Toman Coinnich - two out-and-backs to A' Chailleach and Sgurr Breac in persistent drizzle - back over Druim Reidh. With FJ. | Mark Jackson | 13/06/2022 |
From parking on A832 above Loch a' Bhraoin: A' Chailleach, Toman Coinich, Sgùrr Breac, Sgùrr nan Each, Sgùrr nan Clach Geala and Meall a'Chrasgaidh. Absolutely glorious weather. As mproudfoot- Sgurr Breac & A'Chailleach and the three munros on the Sgurr nan Clach Geala ridge, linked up via a hefty drop and re-ascent between Sgurr Breac and Sgurr Nan, but took tricky traverse route round the side of Toman to the bealach. | Lazylizzie | 04/06/2022 |
I headed for the two Munros at the west end of the Fannichs range, parking on the A832, I set off into the peasoup of mist toward Loch a’ Bhraoin, then up above mist to the Munro Top of Toman Coinnich (935m). Followed by the Munro of Sgurr Breac (999m), then west around the back of Toman Coinnich to the Munro of A’ Chailleach (997m). 
 
The views were immense once above the clouds, which didn't raise above 500m all day, leaving the surrounding mountains appearing like islands. I met a walker from Dundee called Ross on the way up through the cloud and we walked around for the rest of the day. The final 100m of descent was in darkness with the head torches on, just to make it fun, 08:20hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 18/12/2021 |
With Frank. 
From lay-by at NH161761, via Allt Breabag valley to Col, then Sgurr Breac, contoured round Toman Coinnich and up to A'Chailleach. Then back to Toman Coinnich summit, descending via Druim Reidh ridge. | Crib Goch | 31/08/2021 |

Another big day in the Fannichs! Although often done as two separate days, Sgurr Breac & A'Chailleach and the three munros on the Sgurr nan Clach Geala ridge, can be linked up via a hefty drop and re-ascent between Sgurr Breac and Sgurr Nan Each. And so, on my own this week due to the usual suspects all being otherwise engaged, that's what's I decided to do. A strange day with the first two munros covered in clouds, but later on it cleared to blue skies and sun, albeit with near freezing temp wind chill. So 5 more munros ticked over 15.5 miles, with over 1900m/6260ft of ascent - job done, albeit with multiple blisters, and back to crabbing down the stairs like someone that's just learning to walk again | mproudfoot | 06/09/2020 |

Rough ground on Leitir Fhearna with a deer fence (unmarked on map) to negotiate ... there are stiles in the SW and NE though if you can find them! | jamessteel100 | 22/07/2018 |

From A832 layby, a round of Sgurr Breac, Toman Coinich and A'Chailleach. | rhalstead | 30/06/2015 |
Followed the glen up to Beallach at GR173705. Fords marked on OS map do not exist so stayed on West side of stream, which was fine, although there is a bridge farther downstream (also not marked on OS maps). Up to Sgurr Breac on mainly grassy slopes with a tiny bit of scrambling. Across to Toman Coinnich and then A'Chailleach, back to Toman Coinnich and then down the ridge. First 3K was very gradual and then last bit very steep. Fantastic views today, no cloud, no wind. | tsharp | 10/06/2015 |
