Quick up and down from the forest car park in Glencoe - fine weather but very cold on top. Great views of Aonach Eagach (for another day!) - down by same route | wychwood | 29/01/2024 |

Aonach Eagach ridge in perfect conditions. 
4 hours from car park to car park. | Geoff Briggs | 01/06/2023 |
Aonach Eagach from E to W, finishing just east of Glencoe village. Perhaps not as scary as it's made out but the pinnacles seemed endless and made for a long strenuous day. | TRG318 | 31/05/2023 |
From Glencoe village. | thekirkie pirate | 26/08/2022 |
Sgorr nam Fionnaidh and Stob Coire Leith from the forestry car park between Glencoe Village and the Clachaig Inn. A steady, stony ascent to the glorious ridge, with views opening out at all stages. The ridge as far as SCL is easy yet exhilarating. On return, I went a short distance further along the ridge to the west summit of SnF for the views over Lochs Leven and Linnhe. | Nick Down1 | 22/08/2022 |

The superb Aonach Eagach traverse from East to West in sunny weather with Richard W and Richard M. With relatively little descent and ascent from Stob Coire Leith along a wide grassy ridge. Damaged trig on top within windshelter. Last peak of the day and descended to second car at free Forestry car park at NN108558. The unmapped descent path goes west to end of ridge, then drops steeply NW to join the Allt a Mhuillinn at 300m, then keeps south of the river, past the dam before crossing it at c 50m and joining the road at NN 112584. It's then c500m NW back to Forestry carpark. | Denise | 13/09/2021 |
Classic Aonach Eagach ridge traverse E to W, except the Pap. Fine views. With Richard & Denise | richard69 | 13/09/2021 |
Am Bodach to Fionnaidh. Absolutely cracking day. Why I waited 36 years to climb this fabulous ridge a second time, I don't know. | sclater | 01/09/2021 |
With George and Rowan. Bit scary with the steep drops,climbs and at times knee trembling exposure. 
My first two Munros in the bag!! Finished our day with a couple of beers in the Clachaig Inn and a wild swim in the river. 
A memorable day. | catriona | 29/08/2021 |

Brilliant day out with Brian Smith, fantastic weather and views! | Kevthecat | 19/08/2020 |
Did Meail Dearg first then scramble along to this one descending down through the scree which was not the best idea as it was tough going. would have been better heading down following the ridge. | supermario | 19/08/2020 |

From Old Glencoe Road (NN 10658 58792). Followed the Pap of Glencoe path and then headed east along a clear path at NN 12363 58605. Lower sections muddy and badly eroded in places, lots of loose scree in the upper sections. Low cloud so no view from the summit except seeing a herd of wild goats! Returned via the same route. | david230201 | 22/08/2018 |

2nd time up the Gach! Weather was perfect - warm and not a cloud in the sky. Did with Paul,Adam and Mark. Cracking day out - nobody struggled. Really enjoyed this one. This time we descended to the NW ending up on the road about 2K up from the Clachaig - definitely the best descent option. | scholesy | 03/06/2016 |
The last of 6 Munros in 4 days. Climbed from Glencoe Independent Hostel. Went with full winter kit but needed sun tan lotion and shorts. Got to love Scottish weather in March. Absolutely stunning views of Ben Nevis to one side and the Aonach Eagach ridge to the other. Mind-blowing. Started at 8.45am. Back down by 3pm for a cuppa in the glorious sunshine. | liljonb | 16/03/2016 |
