Parked in the big lay-by at NG837503 and up Coire Mhurchaidh bearing right once on the flatter ground. Then to the SE top and the summit - all very straightforward. Did the first bit of the climb in the dark so caught the sunrise and the light hitting Alligin and Liathach from the top, superb. Followed the fence down then angled back to the car.StueyB06/12/2023
From layby at corner of Loch Dughaill. Steep rough climb to the beallach (largely by deer fence then to summit of Ben Shieldaig, on to NW top (camped near here). Return along the ridge and continued to SE top and far SE top. Fine sandstone slabs on the ridge. Traversing descent back to start. Bright sunshine.RobertP20/04/2023
