From the layby on A87, ascended steeply up to Am Bathach, along grassy ridge and then dropped down into Bealach a' Choinich. Boggy ascent up to An Cnapach and then on grassy ridge with some narrower sections to Ciste Dhubh. Descended back to bealach, then down glen on rough path. Amazing conditions, with no wind and cloud inversion obscuring the bottoms of the glens. 12.8km.PiranhaFish07/11/2020

Carn Dearg MC meet Kintail.clashcityrocker05/09/2015
climbed on way up to join RBS HWC weekend at Kintail; tea and gingerbread at the pottery at Laggan on the way up; weather was probably best day of a mixed showery weekend; the route suggested involves climbing the ridge from near the Cluanie Inn and then continuing north, dropping to the col between this hill and Ciste Dubh and return via the glen; I decided that it was better (and probably drier simply to retrace my steps along the ridge and enjoy the views); up and down in ~3 hours so seemed in moderately good shape for the weekend. I was first at the Kintail Lodge Hotel - dealt with the teething problems (lack of linen and a kettle that leaked on a torrential scale); Crabbies Ginger beers; glass of red wine with my main course an excellent venison daube (stew) preceded by Strathdon blue cheese soufflee, whisky afterwardslangskill28/08/2015

With three friends. Up path - An Caorann Mór and then the E Ridge of Ciste Dhubh - a long grassy slog. Conditions were unpleasant with a cold driving wind and rain. Mist and cloud were gathering on other tops. We descended the S ridge. Conditions became better so we continued over Am Bàthach. The car was reached only to find it broken into and a handbag stolen.pwbellarby31/08/1986
