Free church CP at NN 0107 6423. Track to mast (with two gates) - could park and turn here if find access point (probably NN 0040 6331 but may be private or gated). Once at mast, path at NN 0000 6453 - follow round, over broken deer fence and gap in gorse to muddy cow path, leaving this at cairn (NM 9994 6459). Steeply up hill - path (indistinct at times) all way to top - lovely walk. Onto Sgurr na h-eanchainne, dropping SW then S (easy grassy slopes) to regain path to mast.carole engel17/08/2023
From car park at church, along track past the lochans and up the hill to the mast. Then up footpath along east side of Allt a Choire Duich and crossing just above the pools at top of the waterfall. Headed up onto nose at end of An t-Socach and along ridgeline on path before final ascent to a rather unremarkable summit area. No cairn (may have been knocked over) but picked up a few loose stones lying around and made a new small token cairn. There was a proper cairn at the 700m spot about 1/2km south of summit which may confuse if climbing hill in poor visibilty.Jossker05/08/2023

1/4 Point-to-point walk from Corran to Upper Scotstown. Parked at church, set off 7.17am. Up past Maclean's towel, then over another three hills and back to cottage. All but last summit clear. Low cloud coming and going, sun struggling to break through. Rounsfell26/05/2023

Parked at Clovulin hall, walked to mast then up to east of stream before crossing at a flattish area. Then up on to An t-Socach ridge where faint path leads most of way to summit. GPS helped as upper hill was in mist.willyross29/11/2022

Solo trip. Rather poor forecast so I reversed the SMC route so as to make sure of the Graham first, i.e to mast, steeply up burn and on to SE ridge of hill. Blotted out in shower so baled off into Coire Dubh by the Allt na Diollaid, an excellent route.Invicta1415/05/2022

Route from the entrance to Glen Scaddle. Walked along Glen Scaddle for approx 6km to gap in forest and headed steeply up hillside. Found a ledge to camp overnight and in the morning continued to Tom Uaine. Then A' Bheinn Bhan with its outstanding views of snow-dappled Garbh Bheinn and Beinn na h-Uamha. Returned to beallach, traversed under Tom Uaine, then steady ascent SE to summit of Druim na Sgriodain, surrounded by lochans. Continued along interesting broad ridge to Sgurr na h-Eanchainne, descended N ridge and on to summit of Monadh Leathann. Descended along ridge ENE, picking a bad (very steep) line to eventually reach the road and back to start. Ideal clear conditions, but strong icy wind on the tops.RobertP20/03/2022

With: hb; Parked by roadside opposite old Burial site. Walked up S side of burn up to ridge then N ridge of Sgurr na h-Eanchainne. Excellent viewpoint. Then followed indistinct path W then SW to Druim na Sgriodain. Descended SE around Coire Dubh to ridge end before dropping into coire, then past waterfalls to mast and road.Ian Baines25/05/2021
A perfect day for this walk. Left the car at Corran, took the ferry, then the standard circuit via Cille Mhaodain and down to the mast. The walk is lovely and the views are glorious; but the last 1000 ft of descent is as horribly steep as expected, based on inspection of the map. Two knees that will bend would be an advantage.Gill07/11/2020
Traverse of the ridge from W to E from Glen Scaddle.sclater18/09/2020
Reversed the SMC guidebook route as forecast westerly wind and to ensure we could cross Macleans towel in the corry. All rivers in spate following heavy rain. From Ardgour mast a steep pull up into the lovely hanging Coire Dubh. Easy river crossings then onto the deceptively low An t-Socach shoulder and easily onto the Graham summit. Great views. Followed round to Sgurr na h-Eachainne which is a better viewpoint then threaded our way through crags to roadalexmaclennan04/09/2020

Parked at the old phone box in Clovullin. Followed the mast signs around Ardgour House. Headed steeply upwards on indistinct paths and animal tracks to the SE ridge and then easily to the summit. Interesting summit area to walk through and great views up and down the rift valley. Solo.bolton19/10/2019

Parked at Colvullin near the gate to Ardgour House - Along the estate tracks following the signs to Ardgour Mast - from the mast a steep ascent to the trig / summit of Sgurr na h Eanchainne (Ardgour stretches beyond and our fist shower finds us) - We weaved through the rocky landscape to bag the summit of Druim na Sgriodain (now the rain sets in) - we dropped into Coire Dubh following the stream back down to the mast. Sunny again we strolled along avenues of sun dappled beech and elm.briandavies02/05/2019

Parked opposite old chapel (NN 01070 64222) and ascended via Ardgour House and the mast, finding myself crossing the live Six Days Trials course just beyond. A navigation exercise on top in very poor visibility and gave myself a black eye by thumping myself in the face (with own fist). A memorable outing!

Up from Corran via Ardgour House, mast & Mclean's Towel. Then on to Sgurr na Eanchainne. Down to burial ground. Superb dayngthack11/04/2018
From Sallachan, south face and south east ridge. Only a few snow patches left. Ascent around steep crags at the base on the east side (still steep), descent around west side (uneven cattle-grazed soft ground).Topographer5708/04/2018
Too much wind forecast for original plan of East end of Aonach Eagach ride so took the free ferry over Loch linnhe for what turned out to be a fine walk over Sgurr na h-Eanachainne and Druim an Sgriodain. very steep initial ascent through trees (was I on the right line? -don't think so) then some good straightforward snow to first summit followed by bouncing along a pleasant snowy ridge all the way round to the final descent and just caught the 2.00 ferry with less than a minute to spare.dickscroop23/02/2018
