N Shiel ridge w Malky, E to W using two cars. One heavy shower, cold and breezy but most summits clear. Rounsfell21/08/2022
Clockwise round of the Brothers Ridge from the parking area off the small road East of the Cluanie Inn. Set off on bike down the A87 at 8am and was lucky to only have one car need to pass me - was locking the bike up at Glen Shiel car park by 8:20am and starting the leg burster up to Bealach na Lapain. Great views on the ascent, but low cloud meant limited views on the ridge, until the final munro. Total time from car-back-to-car = 5h 54minmproudfoot01/05/2022

Clear partly sunny but loads of snow on the ridge - full winter conditions. saw eagles on Ciste DuibhCapt Malbec02/05/2015
A round of three Munro's the last time i attempted this round i was beaten back by adverse weather. The weather today was interesting with a magnificent inversion flowing from Loch Duich to Loch Ness, i rose above and walked in sunshine for most of the way until cloud came in on the way to the col before Saileag. The combination of cloud and low sun treated me to a Brocken spectre complete with glory that followed me for about ten minutes or more.thenomad10/11/2014

From parking area at Glen Shiel up to Bealach na Lapain turning East along the ridge taking in Saileag/Sgurr a'Bhealaich Dheirg/Aonach Meadhoin.

Parked at approx NH 055 115 at the edge of the plantation and used path up Coire Tholl Bhruach to bag this my 200th Munro as it was the best of the 3 on the route. Lovely sunny but windy day. Far better to start here then a long boring walk on a road.Jhimmy16/05/2014
Good clear day. Little snow to the top but the final ridge to the summit carn was snowed up. It is a little exposed and a bit of a scramble but no hard moves. Any wind would make it serious in winterwychwood26/03/2014
