Quick dash up from the car park by the dam - early start as wind increasing. Crosswind above Coire an Duich was almost too much to stand up in. Ice and snow so needed cramponswychwood26/01/2024

With Bert from the Dam at Creag an Fheadain we walked along lochside and up wet hillside on a pth / stream to the grassy ridge up to knoll and rising ridge to summit after a delightful ridge walk in breaking cloud offering great views. Cool winds enjoyed summit lunch and returnb the way we came. This valley is a beautiful and remote location from whiuch to start any walk.david.walker4021/03/2023

Forecast not promising so took this option for a quick up and down from Loch Giorra before the worst of the weather hit. Forecast for morning pessimistic to what we got. Great hill given the conditions. Loch quite low but midges not too bad. Did with Sam - his first munrorobphys15/08/2022

Evening stroll around the southern ridge above Loch an Daimh. Parked below the dam, along the path to the obvious path marked by the cairn and then up the very steep path to the ridge, when on the ridge, the path is very pleasant with great views all round. 4 peaks, Creag an Fheadain, Sron Chona Choirein, Stuc an Lochain and Meallan OdharNicky C30/06/2020
