SE-NW traverse along ridge catalysed by Ursula Stubbings HuMPs quest.vegibagger15/09/2022
From tent well up Strath Dionard, continued up valley then headed up to Cadha na Beucaich, some awkward scree but then a good line between top edge of scree and the rockface Then north on a good ridge over A Cheir Ghorm, Ganu Mor and on to Ceann Garbh and down NE ridge - returning to previous col would have been better. A long day due in the main to working a way up the scree to Cadha na Beucaich.dickscroop15/08/2020

On to this on a fine ridge, below the clouds that were on the higher peaks to the N. Down to Coire Duail via the col N of the lochan, back to the bicycle and an uphill return to the tarmac. I'd like to work out a way to spend more time on the high ridges of this marvellous range above the waterworld.pwheeler22/05/2009

With friend to Fionaven and tops. We left the summit of An t-Sàil Mhòr and passed over the tops Stob Cadha na Beucaich, a minor top* and A’ Chèir Ghorm to reach Ganu Mòr. Note added in 2017: DBIH has now added the minor top as a Subsimm with name Sgurr Cadha na Beucaich.pwbellarby25/04/1998
