From Coulags, out-and-back. Sunny spells, cold (especially when not sunny), chilly breeze from NW. First part of hill proper a slabby delight, top half loose and spiky. Visited bothy on way back down. | Rounsfell | 21/07/2023 |

Solo. Out & back from Coulags via Bealach a' Choire Ghairbh. Poor route-finding from the col, so had to double-back to re-approach. Extremely hot day with no wind; ran low on water until descent below col. | millionmts | 13/08/2022 |

From Coulags, via the usual route following the stalkers' path to the col. Quarzite slabs fun once you work out the best line, fortunately not wet as the sun had come out, though windy. The upper part of the ridge very steep but no real difficulties. Briefly contemplated adding Maol Chean-Dearg. | douglas_easton | 18/05/2022 |

Weather fair. | MountainMac | 23/04/2022 |
Lovely Spring day, Went up to the the left of the main route and utilised some of the slabs for some scrambling. Descent to the north, down by some crags then steeply right, (southish) enabling me to walk under the main face. Amazing place. | garbo1103 | 20/04/2022 |

From the bothy to the south made for a short, pleasant day. Not as hard as it looks, no real problems, barely into scrambling category. But very enjoyable | dickscroop | 31/08/2021 |
d Coulags 9.50am, pleasant run up path at first past excellent bothy, path well-maintained right up into Bh a' Choire Ghairbh, then enjoyable scramble to summit. Overcast at first but became warm and sunny. Descent seemed easy, needed less scrambling, using (remaining one) walking pole to protect R ankle. | NorfolkPT21 | 23/08/2021 |
Great lead up to this majestic hill. Pleased I managed due to all the rock. Fantastic day and so dry under foot. Awesome! With Gmac x | elizyanne | 02/08/2021 |

With J from Coulags. Rock dry, so slabs were nice and grippy. Loose stuff higher up wasn't so great. Curiously quite windy on way up but almost dead calm on summit. Considered descending by S ridge and then working way round to bealach and would have done had it been wet, but as rock was dry went back down E which wasn't too bad. Fine hill. | NotReallyABagger | 23/05/2021 |

With Clare & Skye - on a miserable day in July. Post lockdown escape. Spectacular hill. Skye was best amongst us. | Scmccabe | 20/07/2020 |

Climbed with Richard from Coulags, somewhat late start after staying at Cluanie Inn with Richard. However, we got back to the bealach well before dark. Windy on top , no snow | amcculloch | 30/12/2019 |

Wouldn't say south ridge easier than east ridge but definitely much safer - rocky/stony ascent and not as steep as the slabs to the east. | carole engel | 07/09/2019 |

From Fuar Tholl. Skirted south of Mainreachan Buttress, then west, initially steep heathery / bouldery descent, then easier long grass. Forded Fionn-abhainn just south of the good path up to Bealach a' Choire Ghairbh. From point 587 it looked very intimidating, but as per the guides the angled slabby rock was straightforward. Steeper with clambering higher up following a rough path. Didn't fancy returning the same way so continued initially south then east to Loch Moin a Chriathair then back to the main valley path, an easier route off the top but pathless lower down. Very good but tiring day. | Owen B | 12/07/2018 |
