Over Am Bathach from the layby on the A87 about 1km east of the Cluanie Inn. On to Ciste Dhubh before returning down An Caorann Beag. Weather: Sunny spells with a cold SW wind at times. Summits clear of cloud all daygeoffh1216/06/2021

A sunny, warm & still day with J from the A87 via the stalkers path. The path extends over the top of the hill these days. Easy ascent for a terrific view. Dropped to the Bealach a Choinich & then ascended Ciste Dhubh. Back to the bealach & on to the boggy & unpleasant path on E bank of Allt a Chaorainn Bhig back to the road. If you're just climbing Am Bathach, better to simply descend by the route of ascent.NotReallyABagger28/05/2021

From the layby on A87, ascended steeply up to Am Bathach, along grassy ridge and then dropped down into Bealach a' Choinich. Boggy ascent up to An Cnapach and then on grassy ridge with some narrower sections to Ciste Dhubh. Descended back to bealach, then down glen on rough path. Amazing conditions, with no wind and cloud inversion obscuring the bottoms of the glens. 12.8km.PiranhaFish07/11/2020
