17 years down the road, Sail Garbh again plus this time all the others. NW to SE traverse over all rest of the ridge in calm largely clear conditions. best day of the week.this marilyn/Corbett second | vegibagger | 18/09/2022 |
Clockwise round of all three of Quinag's corbett summits with John. Started at Quinag car park (NC232273), up the path to the junction cairn then up the shoulder of Spidean Coinich to the summit. No views from summit due to clag, but the low cloud cleared off the tops as we descended to Bealach a Chornaidh. Steep but short re-ascent to point 745 with stunning views in all directions. Dropped down to start the shallow but long ascent to Sail Ghorm and had lunch at the summit looking down onto Kylesku Bridge. Headed back and contoured around point 745 and another short ascent up Sail Gharbh, before dropping down into the coire and took the decent path back out. Total time 5h 29min. | mproudfoot | 18/09/2022 |

A really brilliant day for a round of all the Quinag tops starting from usual car park. Straightforward walkig all the way. Spidean Coinich (C); Creagh nan h-iolaire (Gt);Beinn Uidhe S top (Gt); Sail Garbh W top (Gt); Sail Garbh Far W top (Gt); out to Sail Gorm and back to Sail Garbh, back to bealach down to lochan and back to car. An Australian guy declared it the best mountain he had ever climbed and hard to disagree though certainly the weather helped. | dickscroop | 02/08/2019 |
Climbed with Richard, Pete Mann, Dom and Amy on Elphin DMC trip. Breezy start but the weather improved a lot throughout the day. Excellent visibility on the summits. | amcculloch | 15/06/2019 |
With Sue from the car park nice day sunny with light wind. Spidean Coinich for lunch and a decision to do all three peaks was made.

From Sail Gharbh, it was very cloudy and with increasing wind. this was the 2nd of 3 Corbetts. With no views I found this a fairly tricky walk. Long drops down, narrow paths and a scramble bad step. | Jhimmy | 27/08/2015 |
