Sgurr na Ciche, Garbh Chioch Mhor, Garbh Chioch Bheag, Sgurr nan Choireachan, An Eag, Sgurr Cos na Breachd-laoidh from Loch Arkaig. With Sue, Jack & Ellie.Geoff Briggs18/10/2022
Up the Glendessarry path to just shy of its highest point, then the SE flank of Druim a' Chuirn to its top. A lovely curved ridge walk on to Sgurr Cos na Breachd-laoidh, taking in the superb vistas before a steep drop to the beallach with An Eag and a more forgiving gradient to its summit. Another steep clamber to Sgurr nan Coireachan and along to its South Top for a well deserved lunch of rhubarb pie. A good path runs south to the forest edge below, and a quick dip in the Allt Coire nan Uth brought much needed refreshment before the track trudge back to the day's start. 6 hrs.summitter01/08/2021

After a bivvy in upper Glen Kingie at NM948953. A friend with had to return for work commitments so I left on my own at 04:25. Went up to the col and then to An Eag (873m). I continued to Sgùrr nan Coireachan (953m). There are bits of scrambling but the rock was dry. I continued westwards although the rock was damp or wet and care was needed. I reached the summit of Garbh Chioch Beag (968m), Garbh Chioch Mhòr (1013m) and Sgùrr na Ciche (1040m). The weather had remained dry.pwbellarby24/06/2005

Marvellous ridge walking all the way from Sgurr an Fhuarain, the view ahead to Knoydart getting more magnificent all the way. That's where we were heading though, and by now we realised we had taken on too much.pwheeler24/05/1993
