From Caorach and on to Speicein Coinnich along the edge with outstanding views of Stac Pollaidh. | sclater | 12/09/2023 |
Anticlockwise around the horseshoe from Culnacraig | davidpettit84 | 02/06/2023 |
From parking just before end of road at Culnacraig. Anti-clockwise loop taking in The Fiddler, its second top, Beinn nan Caorach and finishing up with Conmheall. 1100m total ascent. For The Fiddler, along road until beyond bridge over the “Allt a’ Choire Reidh”, then upwards, remaining between that and the “Allt nan Coisiche”. Amazing views towards Stac Pollaidh! | Toby-and-Dion | 29/05/2023 |
Choice of 2 access routes. The longer 10 mile option is from Blughasary to the SW or the shorter option from Cunacraig to the west, saving 3 miles hiking but requiring a 20 mile drive each way from Drumrunie to Culnacraig. I chose the latter. Starting from car park and short walk along road towards Culnacraig, leaving road to start ascent up SW tongue between Allt a Choire Reidh and Allt nan Coisiche. Well warn path to 2nd cairn at NC087047. I continued on a NE bearing staying with the most obvious path expecting it to take me towards Sgurr an Fhidhleir but instead almost disappeared and tended towards the col with Ben More Coigach. Making a conscious decision to leave the faint path heading for Sgurr an Fhidhleir I was rewarded with spectacular views north towards Suilven and west out to sea towards the Summer Isles. Descend toward col with Ben More Coigach and 2nd Graham of the day. | mntainman | 17/09/2021 |

A beautiful sunny day. Solo. Clockwise circuit of Ben Mor Coigach. | Dangerous Dave | 29/09/2019 |
A good round after a doubtful start from Culnacraig. Increasingly windy as approached top of Garbh Coireachan (Gt) could hardly stand on summit ridge and almost turned back but pressed on in lee of hill, bypassed main summit which I had done before and on down to Speichin Coinnich (Gt) then over to Sgurr an Fhidlieir (G), Beinn nan Caorach N top (Gt) and down by Beinn Nan Caorach. Wind had progressively dropped through the day so a nice finish. | dickscroop | 28/07/2019 |

From Beinn an Eoin. Slog down to Lochan Tuath very hard going. Up the gully south of Sgurr an Fhidleir not bad at all. Then returned to Culnacraig on the obvious and mostly easy sandy/stony/grassy path. | Owen B | 28/09/2017 |

a straightforward ascent of the two graham tops of b.m.c. and s.a.f. from small layby by loch lurggainn, followed an at times sketchy path to under the fiddlers nose and up a fairly steep gulley to another world of a view!!! | stig_nest | 03/06/2009 |
