Beinn Eighe west to east starting from Cromasaig. Returned to the A896 via Coire Mhic Fhearchair & Coire Dubh Mor, before cycling back to Cromasaig.geoffh1215/09/2023
From parking near Loch Bharranch. Up the path into clag. Above 800 metres superb inversion. Up to trig point and the summit of Spidean Coire nan Clach then out and back to 2 eastern tops. Very rough hills. Then headed west to Coinneach Mhor both tops. Then headed down to Sail Mhor. Got over halfway down realised this was a rock climb didn’t want to be unable to reverse route and hadn’t read guides so headed back up and then on to Ruadh-stac Mor and down the scree gully to Coire Mhic Fhearchair. Beautiful place did think about going up Sail Mhor from here. Felt tired so just headed out and back to the car. Will come back to do Sail Mhor. Time taken 10 hours 25 minutes for 15.05 miles and 5456 feet of ascent.isabelle04/06/2023

with Ken on trip to bag point 993 - upgraded to Munro. beautiful afternoon. via Coire Mhic Fearchairniallp23/09/2000
Solo on a clear & warm day. Walked around N side of hill via Coire Dubh Mor for the fantastic view of the triple buttress. Crossed outflow of Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair, worked way along side of loch & ascended the eroded path to the bealach. (On another occasion in winter, thick ice covering the loch had broken up & a gale had blown it to the outflow where the jagged shards were crashing & clattering into each other.) Turned N for Ruadh-stac Mor, returned to the col & over tops to Sail Mhor. Then back along main ridge over Spidean Coire nan Clach as far as Sgurr Ban. Then found the eroded path back down to the glen & along the road to the start. (Again on 6/4/04 with Shaky, Smithy & TomP by similar route except ascended directly to Ruadh-stac Mor from side of loch & had to skip the tops & Spidean as a bright day suddenly gave way to a snow shower & then a thunderstorm crashed in from the W.)NotReallyABagger05/09/2000
