Parked at Kilfinnan and went over Meall na Teanga before returning to Cam Bealach and up on good path to summit with cairn and flattish top. Raining and low cloud. Descended along East ridge over Sean Mheall- better terrain than expected but no views today. | Denise | 16/06/2022 |

Solo round of Sròn a' Choire Ghaibh and Meall na Teanga from Kilfinnan. After a rather tense drive up the A82 - covered in a fresh layer of untouched snow - in particular from Crianlarich into to Rannoch Moor, I arrived at Kilfinnan for an early dawn start. Hoofing the 2.2mi walk along the road into the forest, things were going well until about 400m up on the path to the bealach. A low snowline saw a fairly fresh thin layer of powdery snow covering a lot of ice on the path - just enough to require a bit of care, but not really enough to justify crampons. Mostly misty up to around 500m, where the sky opened up. There was a bit of gusty wind but that only started being a nuisance above 700m on each peak, where the gusts would fire a blast of snow every 5-10 mins. 
 
Did Sròn a' Choire Ghaibh first, lower zig-zags were icy, but above that it was easy going though my timing was not great, just as i hit the summit, a bank of cloud covered it. Tapped the summit and returned down to the | mproudfoot | 28/11/2021 |

From Laggan Locks (parked in car park to E for easier access from A82). Usual 2 Munros, plus Ben Tee. | quadbarrel | 27/05/2021 |
Wonderful views from top. traversed NE ridge and ended up on very steep and hard descent followed by pushing through the forest to the track. | gettingonabit | 17/09/2020 |

Failed to reach summit of Teanga, 130m short, due to avalanche risk | Huwel | 27/02/2020 |
Climbed with Alex McBride, Sron a'Choire Ghairbh first then Meall na Teanga. Accessed from Kilfinnan, just over 8hrs all in. Lots of snow above 650m. | chillyman8 | 14/11/2019 |
Started at Kilfinnan. 2 miles along the forest track and then up to the bealach along the path. Up to Sron a Choire Ghairbh along the zig zaggy stalkers path to Meall na Teanga where the views were 360 degrees and absolutely awesome. Back down to the bealach and up to Meall na Teanga which seemed a harder climb, again the views were good, including Loch Linhe and Loch Ness. Back down the same way. Saw one other person (twice) he was going down from each top as I was going up. | tsharp | 06/05/2019 |
From Kilfinnan: The woods sheltered me from the heavy rain but once out in the open up to the col I was soaked. Up and down Teanga, then up and down Sron a Choire Ghairbh. | jigglybones | 20/02/2019 |

Very good conditions with great views in all directions. Cornices on summit ridge but path basically snow free. | rurquhart | 30/04/2018 |
Ascended after Meall na Teanga - loads of snow but unconsolidated - hard going - mega windy from south west on ascent of the south ridge - was planning to escape off to N - but wind died out on summit and uneventful descent | wychwood | 06/04/2018 |

Very warm and sunny. 6.5hrs | Hammy | 18/08/2015 |
Climbed first, then climbed Meall na Teanga after it. This hill probably the harder of the two hills, not much in them though. Good day out. | FCMark | 11/06/2015 |
After Meall na Teanga. Followed the easy going trail to a panoramic 360 degree view of mist. Finally ticked after a failed attempt from Eas Chia-aig waterfall due to the depth of snow. Kilfinnan is the better approach. | mindlessflogger | 26/05/2015 |
