Fantastic circuit of the Saddle from Shiel Bridge - Allt Undalain, Loch Coire nan Crogachan, then the long and very undulating north ridge of the Saddle taking in all the summits, count our below Sgurr nan Forcan then descended thenA Mhuing ridge. Superb walking in very cold, windy conditions , but superb visibility and views. 21km 7h 30Rockdoctor08/03/2024

From campsite, after Sgurr Mhic Bharraich. From Loch nan Crogachan, the final Simm on Sgurr a' Gharaidh. Faced with the rock buttress, looked at going up the steep grassy gully on left side. However opted for an easier ascent from the SW to the pointed rock summit. Back in 1981, would have probably ascended the N. side & passed within 10m of summit - Continued S. before dropping down grassy slope to the Allt a' Coire Uaine path & back to campsite.gerrybowes26/05/2023
5/5. Best summit of the day. From the Shiel Bridge campsite. Steep descent into glen with good path back.Campbell Singer13/05/2023

A big anti-clockwise round of Coire Uaine from the campsite. With B and R.jenx16/04/2022
Nice rock buttress on north side. Excellent rock quality - shame its not longer. Went up a little stepped arete left of a corner. Pulled over to ledges. Pleasant Diff climbing.Kevin2903502/10/2020
Debs & Talisker. 5 Sgurr a' Gharg Gharaidh ridge tops in SE direction. Up from the lochan and headed down off the last one, picking up an old path, well made in places.Mountain Goat10/05/2019
A morning traverse of the 5 tops of Sgurr a'gharg Gharaith from Shiel Bridge. An easy walk in on the good path, a very pleasant traverse in better weather than we expected then dropped off East to valley and mainly pathless until reached inward main path. A very odd section of badly churned up ATV track starting and finishing in the middle of nowhere - how did it get in without leaving a track!dickscroop30/09/2017

Summit 8 of 21 from Bealach Ratagan en route to Saddle.RHW14/06/2015
Clockwise circuit first of five Graham SIMS. Tricky little top in that it has clifs in north and west side necessitating retreat back ascent route till a bit of steep ground allows a way down and on to the next col.vegibagger14/06/2015
long clockwise circuit with dad on his re confirming his Munro status on the right summit of the Saddle. From Shiel Bridge up Graham Biod an Fhithich Forcan ridge of the Saddle and all along Murdo and Graham top SIMS, leaving last one at 9.57pm just before sunset.trigpillocksson14/06/2015
Steep rocky summit, fifth classic cairn-free rocky summit in a row, somehow missed path for a while in the rain on way downalda18/05/2015
