4 munros west to east from Sgurr na Ciche to Sgurr Mor and Sgurr an Fhuarain Corbett from Loch Akraig | hummusg | 09/08/2023 |
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 Briggs | 18/10/2022 |
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. | summitter | 01/08/2021 |

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. | pwbellarby | 24/06/2005 |
