| en route to RBS HWC weekend at Torridon; I stayed in a B&B in Lochcarron the night before; I walked in from Craig; it was an unpleasant windy and wet day; I met another walker who was descending from Bealach Bhearnais having turned back because of the conditions; I traversed the ridge in cloud/mist and was expecting to consider the merits of visiting the most easterly Munro Top as there is supposed to be a tricky bit between it and the preceeding summit; however, as I descended I dropped below the cloud and could see Loch Monar below and no more ridge; I double checked my location with back bearings to recognisable points on the shores of the loch and confirmed that I was off the end of the ridge; I retraced my steps westwards and was never sure when I had reached each of the intervening summits, but all were visited twice - on the way out and then again on the return; on the descent to Bealach Bhearnais I had to lie down on a number of occasions to avoid the buffeting from the wind. | langskill | 26/05/2006 |
| See Sgurr Choinnich. Much finer peak than the main summit, but unfortunately no view over Loch Monar. | dbb | 14/10/2002 |

| We were delighted we added this lovely conical mountain to the two Munros (see their logs for full route); this looks what it is- a fine mountain- from the N ridge of Sgurr a'Chaorachain, which we used for our descent to Craig. | pwheeler | 19/05/1992 |

| With John from Pollan Buidhe but cannot remember which direction. I have a memory of ascending the 'ridge'. Another to ask John. | SS | 28/05/1988 |
| Alone. I left the car ½ mile E of Craig. I crossed the railway and joined a track and vague line of path to Bealach Bhearnais (could not find the path in most places due to deep, soft snow). I went up the west ridge of Sgurr Choinnich to arrive at the summit. I reached Sgurr a’ Chaorachain and Bidean an Eòin Deirg. I returned to Sgurr a’ Chaorachain and went down the north ridge. It was hard going due to deep, soft snow with some hard snow or ice. Visibility was poor. I reached the car at 19:35. | pwbellarby | 10/02/1987 |
