From Glen Coe, standard route to reach ridge of Buachaille Etive Beag, on to Stob Dubh N Top (also visiting nearby knoll to be sure) and camping nearby. Descent back to glen and crossed to climb the end of the Beinn Fhada ridge (following a slight shelf under the crags before climbing up to the ridge). On to Beinn Fhada far E top, NE top and Beinn Fhada itself. Return by same route. Some steep terrain, excellent views all round.RobertP16/10/2023
From Stob Coire Sgreamhach. Headed NE down the narrow, rocky ridge until further progress was barred by a steep rocky step. Avoided this by turning SE, and scrambled down to reach the narrow col below at 902m.Pete R28/05/2023
Short solo day. Real nice hill. Cut up from Lairg Elide to 811.HardenC31/03/2022
Spent the weekend at the Ochils Mountaineering Club cottage in Crianlarich. Sunday 29/08/21, I met up with Alex McBride and we headed up Bidean nan Bain. Starting up the steep east slope of Beinn Fhada, to bag its two Munro Tops. Followed by the appropriately named 'bad step', which was a bit airy for comfort, on the ascent to the 1st Munro of Stob Coire Sgreamhach (1072m). Then Bidean nan Bain (1150m, 2nd Munro), from where I ventured west for the Munro Top of Stob Coire nam Beith (1107m) and then back up to Bidean. The return to the car meant we had to ascent the fourth and final Munro Top of the day Stob Coire nan Lochan (1115m), then around the west side of Coire nan Lochan and back to the Three Sisters car park 10:50hrs after leaving the Beehive Cairn car park, both of us suitably knackered.chillyman829/08/2021

First of 3 bonus Corbett Tops on alternative descent route from Stob Coire Sgreamhach rather than returning to the Bealach Dearg into the Lost Valley. Thought I had followed the main path but did come up against a precarious down scramble at about 930m contour. Nearly came a cropper by not turning round with back pack forcing me a way from the rock face, from which I managed to recover. Definitely dodged a bullet, found best route wadown was to the right/SE.mntainman26/08/2020

5 degrees in Glencoe, light cloud, freezing level approx. 2700'. 12:30pm, after a heavy night, started up Lost Valley with Paul, Nad and Caro then left them and headed for Stob Coire Sgreamhach. Climbed firm, old snow just soft enough to kick steps. Dismayed to see a tangle of wind turbines has arisen in the Glen Etive direction since my last visit. Unexpectedley interesting ridge to shapely east top. On to NE top.Wycombe Wanderer01/01/2017

Climbed with Rach as part of a Bidean Nam Bian walk. Absolutely glorious weather - perfect cloud free summits. Added a few additional tops to e walk along the ridge from Stob Coire Sgreamhach, the scrambling on this ridge was pretty easy. The hidden valley (on ascent) was stunning with lots of Deers. Descended over Nam Lochan and down its Left flank. All in all a good days walk.scholesy11/10/2013

RBS HWC Sunday outing; a great ridge walk in good conditions; I met some of the others who had come up through the Lost Valley and saw them head on towards Bidean; the midges were awful in the Lost Valley on the way down and the wait for the bus was grim - it rained, the midges came out, but I was entertained by a Pole taking a shower in his underpants outside his camper vanlangskill30/07/2006
