from Caolasnacon. Ascent via path/track E side of Allt Gleann a' Chaolais, then from col following fence posts to summit. Return same route. Some wet snow made boulder fields tricky higher up. Thick cloud. Squalls. Windy. But quite warm for Febwychwood19/02/2024

Aonach Eagach from E to W, finishing just east of Glencoe village. Perhaps not as scary as it's made out but the pinnacles seemed endless and made for a long strenuous day.TRG31831/05/2023

Brilliant day out with Brian Smith, fantastic weather and views!Kevthecat19/08/2020
Great area lots of scrambles to be had between this and Sgor nam Fiannaidh good climb up to this one with good path and stone stepped areas. Not an easy one to do so if just starting out I would say one to leave till you gain some experience on easier ones first.supermario19/08/2020
