Up the track at NH 12486 54420. There is a locked gate at the bottom of the track which can be climbed, and a few fallen trees to scramble over/under. I left the path at NH 11116 61030, headed up to the ridge and on to the summit. 40m vis, snow all the way. Followed my tracks back.	nicolajane	14/12/2015

With D Roeder. Chaorainn & Fionn Bheinn on cold v windy day, snow showers. Fr Achnasheen (10:30) used new track to reach plateau near waterfall. Used v steep E face to avoid wind and snowfields, but v slippery. Sun briefly on top. Desc vis S ridge then on to Fionn Bheinn ascending from col to SE ridge, then to top in teeth of blizzard. Cloud cleared a bit on top. More blizzard on descent, quite difficult; dry for the final grassy walk down. Finish 15:30	dbb	16/05/2015

Parked by Loch a'Chroisg. Over locked iron deer gate, opened a second, on broad track up into forest on gentle slope. Path continued under 3 lots of fallen trees out of forest to open moor. Up by stream to broad ridge. Still rising gently over short deer grass, tundra stone patches to visible heave of the hill. To top at 12.40 after passing two dummy tops on the vast plateau. Golden plovers all around. My 150th Graham.	arranc	10/07/2006
