| With CB and Gillian. | JDBowers | 05/06/2023 |
| Up to Tom na Gruagaich I was lucky as top 50 metres was above the cloud. Superb views across a sea of white to any high summits. Back into the clag on route to Sgurr Mir but again top was clear and I had both summits to myself. Headed down and over the Horns and back to the car. Amazing early morning walk. Time taken 5 hours 15 minutes including a lot of stops. Distance 7 miles for 3672 feet of ascent. | isabelle | 05/06/2023 |
| With Eve. After a blustery traverse from Tom Na Gruagaich that had incredible views to the NE and the Outer Hebrides yonder. The view here was even more spectacular as the line of sight to the North opened up, making it difficult to know which way to look. | RufusHodge | 08/04/2023 |
| 1/2 - walked in up the standard route from road above Torridon. Fine weather but cold and breezy higher up. Min snow. Walked past 1st Munro due to crowds on summit. Only difficulty is the descend/reaccent of N ridge of Tom na Gruagaich (very mild scambling but dry). View from summit looking W amazing | wychwood | 25/03/2023 |
| With Gavin, clockwise, me bypassing the Horns. Dreich turning sunny as well as warm. Great views | niallp | 27/07/2022 |

| Up the horns, along the ridge over the 2 munroe and down the main path | JulieB | 28/08/2020 |
| With Harrison - anticlockwise route covering the horns and both munro summits. Started cloudy but warm with almost no wind (midge-fest) - claggy on the horns but cleared to blue skies by the time we reached Sgurr Mhor summit. Easy scrambling but somewhat exposed in a few places. | mproudfoot | 24/07/2020 |
| Most beautiful day on the hills so far. So lucky to have perfect conditions with virtually no wind, a powdering of snow and no cloud. a great day to be on the ridge. | Nicky C | 30/10/2019 |
| Walked from Torridon along the road until you come to first car park, then up to first Munro Tom na Gruagaich, then along to second Munro Sgurr Mhor and down via the Horns of Alligin. Weather, some heavy rain at first with fairly strong wind, before clearing on Sgurr Mhor and though some cloud still around, weather got better and better. Excellent walk. | Fell_wanderer | 12/09/2019 |
| Route: Parking near Torridon Hotel Coire MhicNobaill Na Rathanan Far East Top Na Rathanan East Top Na Rathanan Sgurr Mhor Sgurr Mhor West Top Tom na Gruagaich Tom na Gruagaich West Top Coire nan Laogh parking. Stats: 5hrs55, 11.2km, 1,297m ascent. Weather: hot & sunny. Notes: glorious scrambling along the horns of Na Rathanan ridge; excellent views from Munros. | millionmts | 07/09/2019 |
| Trade circuit inc horns. P&N turned back after 1st Munro. Misty on all summits, clear on gaps between horns. | Rounsfell | 30/05/2019 |
| With: hb; From the car park, walked up Coire MhicNobaill, crossed the two bridges then scrambled up the south east ridge to the Horns (Na Rathanan). Supern scrambling over the horns in glorious sunshine, being followed by the beast od Alligin (a Collie which chose the stay with us rather than return to its owners who were half an hour behind us!). We descended to the bealach then walked up to Sgurr Mhor where we had lunch. We looked down impressive Eag Dhubh (Black cleft) on the path across to Tom nan Gruagaich. The descent path down Coire nan Laogh was tedious but gave good views back to start. This was a superb walk after so much rain. The paths have changed out of all recognition since my first visit in 1978. | Ian Baines | 29/05/2019 |
| With: ib; Walked up Coire MhicNobaill, crossed the bridge & up SE ridge to Horns (Na Rathanan). Descend to col then up Sgurr Mhor. Looked down impressive Eag Dubh then to Tom nan Gruagaich. Descent down path to start. Superb walk after so much rain. | Helen Baines | 29/05/2019 |
