Easily from bothy to west, stream crossing easy, plenty of options without detouring to bridge straight up to Creag Mainreachan Buttress summit and across tyo Fuar Tholl. Descent north from bealach took me lower than I would have hoped for but could see no other option to get over to Raeburn's Buttress (Ruadh East Top). and easy descent back to stream and bothydickscroop01/09/2021

With: hb; From Achnashellach Stn, up the Coire Lair path to the bealach then steeply west and the south east to the narrow summit of Sgorr Ruadh. We dropped south east to cross the wide and complex Bealach Mor in order to gain the path up Creag Mainnricheean, then over Mainreachan Buttress to the summit of Fuar Tholl. The River Lair was in spate so we dropped south west to Carn Eididh then southeast to the railway level crossing before walking back along the road to the start.Ian Baines27/05/2019
