Straight up from path S of Green Loch. Steep, deep heather hard going.govanah27/08/2023
Having previously tried and failed to climb this one through the wooded area to the West, this time I parked at Coire na Ciste car park and ascended Stac na h-Iolaire and Carn Lochan na Beinne. Descended SW to a path which didn't seem to exist then Lochan na Beinne and paths to car park.NormanW17/07/2023
Circular overnight route from Coire na Ciste car park. Sunny and warm conditions with excellent visibility. Followed path heading NE contouring round hillside, eventually climbing to join ridge leaving a short distance to climb and reach Creag nan Gall. Continued to Stac na h-Iolaire and camp near pt737. Inversion in the morning, and continued (missing Sron a' Cha-no) to Cnap Coire na Spreidhe and summit of Cairn Gorm. Along northern corries to Fiacaill a' Choire Chais, Stob Coire an t-Sneachda, Cairn Lochan. Descended to Fiacaill na Leth-choin (barely a top) and the impressively located Creag an Leth-choin [Lurcher's Crag]. Over Creag an Leth-choin North Top and descended to SW end of Chalamain Gap, taking a good path to Creag a' Chalamain. Descended via Airgiod-meall to return to start.RobertP30/05/2023
