From Beinn nan Caorach. Visited every potential high point. Great views over the cliffs to the north. Solo.Dangerous Dave29/09/2019
A good round after a doubtful start from Culnacraig. Increasingly windy as approached top of Garbh Coireachan (Gt) could hardly stand on summit ridge and almost turned back but pressed on in lee of hill, bypassed main summit which I had done before and on down to Speichin Coinnich (Gt) then over to Sgurr an Fhidlieir (G), Beinn nan Caorach N top (Gt) and down by Beinn Nan Caorach. Wind had progressively dropped through the day so a nice finish.dickscroop28/07/2019
Anti-clockwise circuit from near end of road towards Culnacraig KeithByTheC17/04/2019
Fantastic circuit of the Coigach peaks from parking area near Culnacraig in bright sunny conditions, breezy. Speicein nan Garbh-choireachan, Ben More Coigach, Speicein Coinnich, Beinn Tarsuinn, steep descent then climb and traverse to Sgorr Tuath, Beinn an Eoin, Sgurr an Fhidhleir, Beinn nan Caorach North Top (camped overnight), Beinn nan Caorach, Conmheall.RobertP26/05/2018
Well worth the small detour en route to Sgurr an Fhidleir. Desert sands and rich formations resembling armadillo armour. Great views of Stac Pollaidh and Fhidhleir with sheer drops from from northmost top. Several high points.Campbell Singer06/05/2017
Part of circuit from Culnacraig to Sgurr an Fhidhleir, also including Beinn nan Caorach and Cairn Conmheall.martin_hall17/07/2014

With main top and Conmheall from SWjimbloomer05/05/2014
Solo. After Speicein nan Garbh-choireachan, Ben More Coigach, Speicein Coinnich and Sgùrr an Fhidhleir. Visited quite a number of points that could be the highest point. I thought perhaps the largish cairn was the highest point but can't be sure. There is a well built cairn to the NW as well as two smaller cairns elsewhere. Continued to Beinn nan Caorach.pwbellarby31/07/2013
