Excellent solo day outD.Hoyle21/04/2023
2/2....then dropped down to Bealach Coire Mhalagain (some snow on NW aspect but not to warrant crampons). From Bealach, path WNW to The Saddle summit, higher up path lost under snow cover, steep but quite soft so easy enough. Path back to glen from W of bealach. Slightly bizarrely, very windy again below 500m. By this route managed to avoid The Forcan Ridge (which looks awesome) but I was keen to avoid solo in winterwychwood27/02/2023

Trad route up to foot of Forcan ridge, then along 'dyke' into upper corrie. The exit route cannot be seen from below, so took to broad, but steepening, snow covered grass ridge on L. got very steep then angle eased and then easily to the top. From the top, the trad descent route was obvious down a worn trench and then steeply down another 'dyke' but as this involved negotiating many frictionless hoar-frosted boulders, I went back down the grassy ridge.Isbjorn Winter Round08/01/2019
Trad route to foot of Forcan ridge, along 'dyke' and into corrie. Snowline ~ 800m, but freezing level at ~ 100m - whole approach on sheet-ice-ridden ground and hoar covered rocks - making for extremely slow going - far too slow for the short hours of daylight availableIsbjorn Winter Round24/12/2018

2nd munro of the day. Went straight up to summit which involved backtracking down last bit of Forcan ridge. Sam and Deepa joined us on summit and they descended Forcan ridge while we went straight down and met them. Sam's 100th munro. Celebration in Kintail Lodge Hotel.dave neilson08/09/2018

Climbed solo. Started at Malagan Bridge (Glen Shiel). Stalkers path via Bealach na Craoibhe to foot of Forcan Ridge. Ascending the ridge to climb numerous summits (Sgurr nan Forcan, The Saddle E top, The Saddle, The Saddle trig point, The Saddle W top, Spidean Dhomhuill Bhric, Sgurr Leac nan Each). Descended north along ridge towards Sgurr a' Gharg Gharaidh before dropping east down a steep grassy gully into Gleann Undalain. Picked up path (faint at first) heading down glen to Shiel Bridge before heading down road to Ratagan hostel. Return on bike to Malagan Bridge to collect car. Weather dry, warm, mostly sunny, with some mist lower in the valleys, particularly in late afternoon (a partial cloud inversion). Superb climbing on a spectacular and rugged mountain. Scrambling on Forcan Ridge is exposed but not difficult, though wouldn't be pleasant in wind or rain. Views to Ben Nevis, Skye, Torridon. Time ~ 8 hours.jamessteel10018/08/2016

Fantastic views all around. Once the summit is reached you see the trig . Started on A87 you see the path up into the col. At the ridge start you can go straight on to avoid the scramble Once you are on the scramble you are committed to finish itAristotle Chip15/05/2016

my first ascent, 2 in group, climbed on the way to skye, overcast but a clear day. followed stalkers path up, meallan odhar, then the ridge proper, nice and narrow with an awkward down climb from a minor top, would be nasty in winter! continued on over and up the final steep section, a minor bump then the summit for lunch, descended down a steep and loose gully, contoured into the col and climbed up to a minor top. then south and up hill again, gaining the first top then the summit of sgurr na sgeine. returned along the ridge to faochag and a very steep descent back to glen shiel.rum doodle 12/07/1997

With Richard Jones. From the bridge over Allt Mhàlagain up a stalker's track to the Bealach between Biod an Fhithich and Meallan Odhar. Then on to the summit of Meallan Odhar where there is a prominent cairn pointing in the direction of the Saddle. Followed an ill defined path to the remains of a wall. This point marks the start of the ridge leading to the Saddle. Plenty of delightful scrambling. The are several towers, with an easy but very steep descent of one of them. The summit of the Saddle was reached. Descended to Bealach Coire Mhàlagain and followed the Allt Coire Mhàlagain on its south side. Saw four goats. Note: subsequent visits and metric maps show that the prominent cairn on Meallan Odhar is not at the highest point of Meallan Odhar. The highest point is nearer the ridge going up to the saddle and is passed on the way there.pwbellarby01/09/1971
