| Solo. From the car park at Spittal of Glenmuick. After climbing Little Pap continued up to the rock tor that marks the summit of Cuidhe Cròm. Continued towards the main summit of Lochnagar but soon came across a group of three young people who wanted to know how to get down to Glas-allt-Shiel. It was very misty. They had no compass, a poorly printed copy of a map and were not where they thought they were. I went with them and showed them the path down to Glas-allt-Shiel. | pwbellarby | 02/08/2016 |

| RBS HWC Sunday Outing; the path from Loch Muick is excellent, almost a pavement; a straightforward climb to my surprise as Lochnagar had been a dark bogey mountain in my mind; the climb from the col between Meikle Pap and the main ridge was slightly tricky - loose gravelly underfoot. | langskill | 28/07/2002 |
