Staying at the Ochils Mountaineering Club Cottage in Crianlarich; on Sunday, I headed up Sgurr na h-Ulaidh with Dave Morgan, Al McBride and Chelsea Murray . Set off in darkness again at 07:50, it was a balmy -6C. We walked up the track and then a long slog up to the my 100th Munro Top, Stob an Fhuarain (968m). It was only once on the ridge, that we found the sunshine. Then some icy conditions getting up to Sgurr na h-Ulaidh (994m) my 199th Munro. Descending was made easier with micro spikes. Back to the car at 16:46, in darkness again. A cracking daychillyman803/12/2023

Tough trails paths with a lot of climb with it being 4 miles to top of Corbet we did before Munro, concentration was required all the way as there was a lot of ice and and snow on top with a few scrambling bits over icy rockssupermario21/10/2021

Having been defeated by a massive cornice on the N 'nose' in 2016, went via Bealach Easan and up Corr na Beinne, but difficult to pre-determine a complete route up the NW flank as the bealach is too close to the hill - went up ascending TR R, then an ascending TR back L, generally steep with one short very steep bit of hard neve.Isbjorn Winter Round11/02/2019
Beautiful walk in along the banks of a stream in spate then a tiring pathless ascent on steep grass to a wonderful ridge. Up and over a rocky top down and up again steeply to summit. Back the same way. Clear, sunny, wonderful views. Amazing.Langbank 10/10/2018

From Glen Coe, path not very good after track finishes. Took a fairly direct line into Coire Dubh and then winding up between the crags to the Stob an Fhuarain col. This was steep but straightforward, a walk not a scramble, mostly grassy slopes with a little scree.alda10/10/2016
Solo fr N after driving fr Lakes; beautiful day w crystal-clear air and views, tops all clear though some broken dark clouds overhead. Some running but most too steep or rocky. All 3 tops. Down to stay near Onich.NorfolkPT2114/07/2016
With Andrew McCluskey, Lily and Hibbert following the WH route. Steep grass and bouldery slopes. Occasional cloud and rain and then great clear views of Glencoe and Etive hills and to Mull. 6 hoursalexmaclennan12/07/2016
2nd day of our Glencoe trip (with Paul & Adam). Adams idea as it was a Munro he needed to bag. Good walk with some really good views from the top. Fairly long walk in/out via landrover track then following the stream up, before breaking off to the left and hitting the ridge line. Good weather as well. Descent on the other side of the Munro was ok with a bit of a hairy bit half way down. I believe its known as the bad step - was ok but can see how it would be dangerous in the wet.scholesy04/06/2016
With Harrison Anne and John (via Meall Lighiche and top Stob an Fhuarain) - snow cover on ground above 700m.mproudfoot16/04/2016
Trad route, over intermediary, but final 50m to top was heavily corniced - not passable and ground to either side was steeper and exposed.Isbjorn Winter Round24/02/2016

An easy ascent from Invercharnan, Glen Etive. In partial cloud at the summit. The tree felling on the approach now blights this approach.Roblex18/09/2014

Group of 4 turned back on steep snow slopes just a few minutes away from the summit but I kicked my way vertically up using ice axes but not crampons as snow was deep and sugary. Lots of rime on top.signyred18/02/2014
with Jim, ok going uo, scramble down was tough, someone had chucked two poles down before descending then either given up or couldn't find themgeoffreybbb30/07/2013
