From Inverey. Great route up north ridge.BaggerGutt22/05/2022
Parked in layby just N of Alltamhait on A93, walked track into Baddoch and a bit beyond, but unable to cross river there, so back-tracked to the weir by the MarineScotland hut at NO135832, negotiated an electric fence and 'No Unauthorised Personnel' signs, and crossed easily there, back along forest edge (not easy) until opposite Baddoch, then W, curving SW, on good stalker path leading to summit of Sgor Mor, continued SW on mostly good track down to col and up the other side, contouring N to summit of Creag an Fhuarthais, back S to summit of An Socach N top, then E down easy slopes to the track along Baddoch Burn, returning to the start (including the bridge at NO129822, which I should have used on the outward leg)kdbennett13/11/2021

Despite sections of backtracking a good round of four Corbett tops from the start of the Baddach track on the A93. On the track to the bridge then contouring round west for a way before heading straight up to Sgor Mor without difficulty. Then on to Creag an Fhuathais, back round to contour to Sgorr Mor N top and on to Cairn an Drochaide. On return spotted a path heading over the shoulder above Coire na Lairige which looked like an abandoned stalkers path and gave me a good line to head down to and through the woods back to the start.dickscroop26/08/2017

Glen Ey round, Carn Bhac to An Sosach from Inverey hostel.Eddie05/07/1993
With the Cairngorm Club. In the President's Party led by Peter Howgate. From the Cairnwell Pass at NO139782 via Loch Vrotachan, across Baddoch Burn on a bridge at NO107794. I joined a splinter party to the west summit of An Socach (the Munro summit), omitted by the main party. We went to the east summit of An Socach, Creag an Fhuathais and down to Glen Ey to Inverey. There was thick mist until the east summit of An Socach. There was very little snow.pwbellarby26/10/1980
