From the slightly higher top of DnS on a clockwise circular from the church car park. Although slightly lower this is the more prominent peak when seen from Corran and provides the best views looking out across Loch Linnhe and down to Corran ferry.Jossker05/08/2023
Parked just north of The Inn at Ardgour. Steep pathless route up from the cemetery- Cille Mhaodain. Solo.Dangerous Dave28/07/2023

Route from the entrance to Glen Scaddle. Walked along Glen Scaddle for approx 6km to gap in forest and headed steeply up hillside. Found a ledge to camp overnight and in the morning continued to Tom Uaine. Then A' Bheinn Bhan with its outstanding views of snow-dappled Garbh Bheinn and Beinn na h-Uamha. Returned to beallach, traversed under Tom Uaine, then steady ascent SE to summit of Druim na Sgriodain, surrounded by lochans. Continued along interesting broad ridge to Sgurr na h-Eanchainne, descended N ridge and on to summit of Monadh Leathann. Descended along ridge ENE, picking a bad (very steep) line to eventually reach the road and back to start. Ideal clear conditions, but strong icy wind on the tops.RobertP20/03/2022

With: hb; Parked by roadside opposite old Burial site. Walked up S side of burn up to ridge then N ridge of Sgurr na h-Eanchainne. Excellent viewpoint. Then followed indistinct path W then SW to Druim na Sgriodain. Descended SE around Coire Dubh to ridge end before dropping into coire, then past waterfalls to mast and road.Ian Baines25/05/2021
A perfect day for this walk. Left the car at Corran, took the ferry, then the standard circuit via Cille Mhaodain and down to the mast. The walk is lovely and the views are glorious; but the last 1000 ft of descent is as horribly steep as expected, based on inspection of the map. Two knees that will bend would be an advantage.Gill07/11/2020
Traverse of the ridge from W to E from Glen Scaddle.sclater18/09/2020
Reversed the SMC guidebook route as forecast westerly wind and to ensure we could cross Macleans towel in the corry. All rivers in spate following heavy rain. From Ardgour mast a steep pull up into the lovely hanging Coire Dubh. Easy river crossings then onto the deceptively low An t-Socach shoulder and easily onto the Graham summit. Great views. Followed round to Sgurr na h-Eachainne which is a better viewpoint then threaded our way through crags to roadalexmaclennan04/09/2020

An excellent walk from the marilyn to the west. Dropped steeply back to the area above the mast and the car at the phone box. Solo. About 4.75 hours for both hills.bolton19/10/2019
Staying the weekend at the Corran Bunkhouse,crossed on the ferry as foot passengers then an anti-clockwise horseshoe of this lovely hill. With Paul/Helen/Bod & Val.MorecambeMonkey24/11/2018
Too much wind forecast for original plan of East end of Aonach Eagach ride so took the free ferry over Loch linnhe for what turned out to be a fine walk over Sgurr na h-Eanachainne and Druim an Sgriodain. very steep initial ascent through trees (was I on the right line? -don't think so) then some good straightforward snow to first summit followed by bouncing along a pleasant snowy ridge all the way round to the final descent and just caught the 2.00 ferry with less than a minute to spare.dickscroop23/02/2018

After Druim na Sgriodain from a camp in Glen Scaddle. Heatwave.fasgadh25/03/2012
Parked just beyond site of cattle grid north of Corran. Gate by roadside deer fence, over dry stream bed by old cemetery. Sort of path straight up hillside through head high bracken, by passing crags now and then onto steep moor grass sections. Another bracken run up to the left of crags ahead on very steep grass to get to a large and confusing bealach with slopes going in all directions. Beeline uphill onto vertiginous mossy stuff. So steep using both knees and hands to make progress, before being able to stand upright again. To the Vanessa trig 9809. Slightly lower than the cairn on the small top. Then on to Sgriodain.arranc05/07/2011
