First of second day of Dalwhinnie-Corrour pilgrimage. Packed up tent by 07:30 and was at summit under an hour later in spectacular morning sun. Very surprised at the high scrambling quality of Lancet Edge. Then onto G-c to look for saxifrage and rest of M/MTs in light mist without much drama.iangpark17/08/2022

The Lancet Ridge is a great way to gain the tops but to save weight had left ice axe back at car & just had walking pole & crampons. All difficulties turned on the left. Another brill day.signyred12/02/2008

Ascended by Lancet Ridge, having cycled to Loch Pattack. Went on to re-ascend Geal-Charn and Aonach Beag, returning and descending over Carn Dearg. All in perfect summer weather.JohnW08/08/1995
First mountain of the Geal Charn/Aonach Beag group. Started from Culra bothy. Huge steep snow patches on the ridge leading to the Lancet Ridge so we kept to the Loch an Sgoir side, This gave lots of choices to select easy scrambling up little chimneys. The Lancet Edge itself was snow free, a walk up a very narrow in places ridge up towards the summit. With Pete.pwheeler25/05/1994

Cairngorm Club weekend meet at Loch Ossian YH. With several other members. We walked along the track on the south side of Loch Ossian and then along the path to Bealach Dubh and some way beyond. We climbed up Lancelot Edge to Sgor Iutharn, then traversed Geal-chàrn, Aonach Beag, Beinn Eibhinn and descended to the outward path over Meall Glas Choire. We returned to Loch Ossian YH via outward route. Weather good.pwbellarby05/05/1990
During a long weekend at Culra with various work colleagues. From Culra via the Lancet Edge to a misty Sgor Iutharn. Wandered about in the mist to Geal Charn & then on to Aonach Beag & Beinn Eibhinn. Still no view. Back to col between Eibhinn & Aonach Beag where the mist had lifted. Carefully down into the corrie & worked around the slope to join the path leading back over the Bealach Dubh back to Culra.NotReallyABagger05/05/1990

The four Munros in the Geal-charn group, plus tops RHW10/06/1988
With a friend. We walked from Loch Ossian YH along the south side of Loch Ossian (noisy herons nesting in trees on island). Then along the Uisge Labhair path. At the top of Bealach Dubh we took to the slopes NE to Sgor Iutharn. We followed a contouring shelf with little lochs to Diollaid a' Chairn. We went on to Carn Dearg, back to Diollaid a' Chairn and on to Geal-Charn, Aonach Beag, Beinn Eibhinn, (actually 2 tops; it looks as though the 1974 Ed top is the SE one whilst the 1980 Ed top is NW), Mullach Coire nan Nead, and Meall Ghlas Choire. Back to the YH. A superb day. Fine with light breezes and not too hot.pwbellarby07/07/1984
