Part of round up to Bannadich. Nice summitHardenC31/05/2023
Parked at bridge over River Brittle. Up the W ridge: straightforward except for a few patches of scree.PGCE22/05/2023
From new Fairy Pools CP up the W ridge - would have been better parking at the bridge and saving myself £6. Anyway, an excellent hill - it's taken me a long time to get around to climbing it.sclater21/04/2023
Parked at Glen Brittle YH and followed main path up til below the Thuilm ridge, then crossed river and headed up to ridge, easily finding a way through the rock bands and to summit. Grey, dry warm day with light winds. Swirling cloud cleared quickly after summit as we continued along superb scrambly ridge to Mhadaich.Denise 10/07/2021
Via the curving W ridge gained by path from hostel, crossing river at alt.300m then N slope of Coire a' Ghreadaidh. Walk all the way. Glimpses of the main ridge through windows in misty cloud, calm, warm.RichardM10/07/2021
Up from YH. Left main path up corrie at about 370m then due N until hit the ridge. Nice scramble up to Sgurr a' Mhadaidh after summitting, tricky route finding for Grade 2.quadbarrel14/07/2020

On way up to Sgurr a' Mhadaih.Dugswell203/06/2002
Sunshine and blue skies so we did Glenbrittle- Sgurr Thuilm- Sgurr a'Mhadaidh- Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh-Glenbrittle, a walk/scramble of considerable commitment. Straightforward to this first summit, a narrow ridge but a walk. We couldn't work out a way we could get onto Sgurr a'Mhadaidh directly and went via An Dorus rather than risk not giving ourselves the opportunity to get on both Munros.pwheeler22/05/2001

Munro clear up before days of climbing: Sgurr na Banachdich to Sgurr a'Mhadaidh.Eddie06/06/1995
With a friend. Traverse of the Cuillin ridge from Sgùrr Thuilm to Bruach na Frithe. We left the youth hostel in Glen Brittle at 10:25 following the path near Allt a' Choire Ghreadaidh. Reaching the slabs in Coire a' Ghreadaidh we crossed the burn and headed up to Sgùrr Thuilm, going to the right of a prominent cliff to reach the summit. We walked along the ridge and scrambled up steeply to reach Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh.pwbellarby04/09/1993
