Wet and windy ascent, with Tom and Duncan, following the muddy track towards the summit. Forget about doing the tops in this wind. | alexmaclennan | 17/02/2024 |
Used car park near Auchlean, Glen Feshie. Mullach Clach a'Bhlair, Carn Ban Mor and Sgor Gaoith on good tracks. Very windy with cloud base progressively rising to 1000m during the day. With Gillian | richard69 | 10/10/2023 |
From Auchlean carpark, through pines on superb path, to carn Ban and then along edge. No cairn, big drop with blocky edge. In rain but view at the top. Continue to Mullach Clach. Solo. | Denise | 07/10/2023 |

With Andy Moffat, James Priestley and Ali Shaw, started at Achlean car park. Followed good path up to Carn Ban Mor, then north to Sgor Gaoith. Descended into Coire Gorm a' Chrom-alltain, then out along the path to the lower Glen Feshie carpark. Snow started above 700m some deep area, which I struggled with, really hard going. 
 
Glad I wore winter boots, but no need for crampons. Fantastic views in every direction, 7hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 11/03/2023 |

My second summit of the day targeting Sgor Gaoith and Muliach Clach a Bhlair from Auchlean. A good path up, spectacular views from this summit on a still clear day. | meltdiceburg | 02/08/2021 |
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.

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. | DanTrig | 16/06/2019 |
