Final Munro recompletion summit, now or possibly never. 0500 start from official start of SE to NW Five Sisters route. Several detours to avoid risky scrambles. From summit, back to the SCD col then descended eastwards for the rehydration then eventully out via Gleann Lichd. Lesson 1: there is hardly any surface water on the Five Sisters ridge, even in times of above average rainfall. Back to car on a sore right foot. Lesson 2: don't rely on taxi companies or passing motorists to return to start of through walks, especially late in the day on trunk roads at short notice.Topographer5726/07/2023

Parked in A87 layby on W side of forest gap and climbed up to the ridge just E of Beinn Odhar. Classic ridge walk thereafter over the Five Sisters - Sgurr nan Spainteach, Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, Sgurr na Carnach, Sgurr Fhuaran, Sgurr nan Saighead and Beinn Bhuidhe before descending its W ridge and the path alongside the stream to Allt a' Chruinn.

Then followed the main path around and down to Ault a'Chruinn by the stalkers' path. 16.9km, with 1440m of ascent. Solo.Man of Kernow130/08/2021

Five sisters munros, east to west. Parking the second car at Loch Duich would've been better than at the memorial, tough steep descent and nowhere to cross the river.tomd429/07/2021

Atmospheric day up on The Five Sister of Kintail ridge with John. Spent much of the time on the ridge in the clouds, though there were clear patches earlier on. Ground was very wet and the resulting mixture of mud and wet slabby rock made for a slippery ridge walk. We had cars at both ends, but John left his car keys in my car (whoops), so we managed to blag a lift from kind stranger at the Jac-o-bite back up to my car.mproudfoot11/10/2020
