My third summit of the day targeting Sgor Gaoith and Muliach Clach a Bhlair from Auchlean. Well worth walking over to this summit for the different views.meltdiceburg02/08/2021
Parked N of Balachroick, taking path E and then up NNE to beallach below Creag Mhigeachaidh. Climbed Creag Mhigeachaidh, return to beallach and then Geal-charn, Meall Buidhe, and steady climb to Sgoran Dubh Mor. Pleasant high level traverse to Sgor Gaoith, with excellent views. Then Carn Ban Mor, Tom Dubh and out and back to Carn na Criche. Then Meall Dubhag, a slightly misjudged traverse to reach Carn Ban Mor West Top, Carn Ban Beag, descent to track running below W side of Creag Ghiuthsachan and return to start. Hot dry conditons.RobertP15/07/2021

Round trip in breezy, showery but clear conditions with Doug and IzzyCapt Malbec18/07/2020
12.5 mile circular from Achlean up normal path over Carn Ban Mor and onto Sgor Gaoiths great summit, continued along ridge to Sgoran Dubh Mhor all on easy paths, we saw the showers coming and decided to descend over Meall Buidhe and Geal-Charn (easy rocky terrain), the descent off Geal-Charn started bouldery but turned into steep heather, then followed little path back into forest and along road to start. High cloud and showery weather, great views from top but cloud stayed on the Braeriach mass most of the day, passed 4 people all day.DanTrig16/06/2019

Standing on the summit of S Gaoith I looked across and thought can I be bothered its 1600hrs its been a long day, but at 1606 I was on my way out, the map made it look easy and it was until I was on the summit and a howling hoolie got up from nowhere, had to hold onto the cairn to get a photo before making a hasty retreat. 40 minutes return to S Gaoith. 1650hrs left S Gaoith 1846 back at car just as the heavens opened first rain of the day.LizzieG14/08/2013
