| I climbed this Munro on the way up to the RBS HWC weekend at Loch Lochy; the weather was poor, I was walking alone and thus opted out of the bad step and descent west of the main summit, rather I returned to the col between the Munro and Stob an Fhuarain and descended from there. | langskill | 27/05/2005 |

| finally got up this hill after so many attempts. In the early 90s got almost to the summit with Elizabeth but no crampons so solid ice made the slopes impossible. Then there was the RRMC trip to Glencoe when I ascended with Robin and others only to have to retreat through illness. Solo. This was the last hill before the last one (and the party). Started with clouds but became a lovely day. Kept waiting for the weather to deteriorate ... but it didn't. At 4:15 it cleared totally. Hence the descent via the ridge. | sarahk | 17/08/1999 |
| RS. MTB 3km along track up Glean Leac na Muidhe then onto Sgurr na h-Ulaidh, Stob an Fhuarain & Aonach Dubh a'Ghlinne. Heavy showers then brightening. | Vin | 04/05/1997 |

| Dash round of Meall Lighiche, and Sgor na h-Ulaidh. | Eddie | 21/01/1992 |
| Started near Achnacon with Shaky following the track & across the river & then N into the glen. Struck off more or less directly up the slope to Stob an Fhuarain - a bit of a slog. On to Sgurr na h-Ulaidh: no treasure in sight & not much of a view either. Back over Stob an Fhuarain & then along its N ridge where a decent view appeared. | NotReallyABagger | 25/08/1991 |
| see log for Stob an Fhuarain, NB we did not try to go straight down the N ridge. | pwheeler | 28/05/1990 |

| Up nice steeply challenging nose with Mark into clag and along to the Munro. | Chris Pearson | 25/08/1985 |
| Very steeply and icily up Aonach Dubh a' Ghlinne, over the two tops then down the west side of West Gully on crap snow. 9th December 1984, just looked it up. Apparently the next day it pissed it down and Ian drove the minibus into a ditch between the Clachaig and Glencoe village. | Capt Malbec | 09/12/1984 |
