Cycled in from the Trinifour turn off, left bike at the old lodge, walked from there, crossed the hydro dam and up the steep face. Bits of path here and there, no path on the tableland, no views either, rotten day. Visited both cairns, 900th Simm though.hils07/07/2023

2 of 3: From the south cairn. Went down on the west side and then back to the dam. With Karen.ChrisR27/03/2023
Large parking area just up private track at NN 7208 7046. Good biking to Sronphadruig Lodge, then easy walking, picking up good path part way up hill (approx. NN 7177 7948). Dropped off east ridge NN 7206 8133 - no difficulties - and directly up to A'Chaoirnich on feint deer trod. Steep but again no difficulties. easy walking on SW ridge to Meall na Spianaigcarole engel10/09/2022
Cycled to river crossing beyond S.lodge, Gaick Lodge track for 0.25k, then deer tracks which zig zag up the non heathery bits to the main track.iangalbraith24/04/2022

From the main summit.Owen B15/07/2021
I had parked up at the Fortingall turn off the A9. I cycled into to Loch an Duin. The southern ridge of An Dun looked very steep. I kept up a steady pace pausing only to take photos or catch my breath. I reached this second cairn about 1 hour 15 mins after leaving my bike. Great views all round with clear blue skies. The descent down the north ridge was more challenging - it is narrow to start with and I could not see particularly far down the slope. Easy does it and eventually the angle eased. As it was so dry I crossed the Allt Loch an Duin with ease.langskill01/07/2021

Visited twice, the second time 15 min later to retrieve walking pole. Contemplating the steep descent with some wet snow higher up, I suddenly realised it was missing.pwheeler05/05/2021
From A9 (parked in S-bound layby immediately S of track start) cycled along track to Sronphadruig Lodge, walked on 1km or so, forded river and up the S ridge of An Dun to S summit, continued to N summit, descended NE slopes, forded (easily) Allt na Craoibhe and Allt Loch an Duin, then ascended A' Chaoirnich up slopes immediately NE of Allt Bruthach nan Spardan, to summit, continuing S along ridges, descending back to Sronphadruig Lodge and cycled back to A9.kdbennett21/07/2020
We cycled from the A9 to Sronphadruig, dumped the bikes and headed up a snow-capped Am Meadar. Pretty steep going, but just a foretaste of the day. Back down to a dam crossing SSW of An Dun. Came across a deer marksman who fired a couple of shots as we headed up the steep south slope - a narrow path helps for most of the way. Over An Dun's two tops then veered west to the Coire na Craoibhe and its spectacular icy waterfall. Tough climb onto Bruthach na Craoibhe as the wind picked up and the snow got deeper so headed down the stalkers path to Sidhean Coire an Dubh-chadha, a nice wee bump. Walked back to the bikes on the track towards Loch an Dun, but rather than get wet feet we opted for the east side, where a small trail gave some help over rough terrain.summitter07/02/2020

Overnight circuit from Dalnacardoch. Followed track most of way to An Dun, but ford not possible to cross so took rough route to reach small dam and cross to climb S via S ridge of An Dun and visit both tops, camped at base of ridge. Light snowfall overnight then climbed Meall na Spianaig, A' Chaoirnich, the two possible tops of Bruthach na Creagan, returning S to climb Sron Odhar and rough traverse across lower section of Glas Choire and over broad ridge to Edendon Water and track of ascent route. Some sunshine and light covering of snow on tops on day 2.RobertP26/03/2016
