| From the south top with D. Dave. From the summit we descended generally SW to the Lochans and steeply from around 965548 to the path with some relief. A long 9 hours on a slow, hard, good weather but enjoyable day. | bolton | 31/03/2024 |
| Up rhs of scree gully on good path. Cairns mark the way to the summit. With bolton. | Dangerous Dave | 31/03/2024 |
| Sgòrr nan Lochan Uaine & Sgùrr Dubh from the Coire Dubh car park. Followed stalkers path south to around point 370m then left the path, east across the rough to eventually a steep final section of scree to the summit of Sgòrr nan Lochan Uaine. From there, descended N down a partial path, then direct across the lochan-filled rough to the start of the reascent up Sgurr Dubh. Instead of going up the gully to the s top, we countoured around to the north side of the summit and ascented up a shoulder to the summit. Descended back down the gully, then west to a deep gorge and followed Allt nan Corrag back down to the boggy terrain below and west back across to the inbound stalkers path which we followed back to the car. Total times: 5h 51min, total moving time: 4h 26min (we spend a good bit of time on both summits). | mproudfoot | 23/09/2023 |

| Solo on an iffy weather day. Standard SMC route, taking Sgorr nan Locahan Uaine first & then Sgurr Dubh. Followed path for as long as it went up, then across the tops. Retreated quite a long way S from Sgurr Dubh which paid off in an easier than expected descent at the expense of a longer walk. | NotReallyABagger | 25/05/2021 |

| Love navigational puzzles. This one is great for finding a direct but safe route back to Ling hut as possible. As ever, when descending, you dont see the crags until you are almost falling down 'em. Yippee ki-ya, Marilyn bagger. | Martin R | 02/10/2014 |
| With Steve, Rod, Steven | Oik | 16/06/2014 |
