From campsite, after Sgurr Mhic Bharraich. From Loch Coire nan Crogachan, headed directly up to the summit rock slab which has a few rocks on top. Definitely didn't do this Simm back in 1981 en route to The Saddle & its Tops; would have joined the ridge about 400m to the ESE.gerrybowes26/05/2023

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 4 of 21 from Bealach Ratagan. After Bora Chnoc, descended SE thru trees, not bad but prob easier to go round. Then contoured round the Corbett at 300m, worked OK.RHW14/06/2015
Clockwise circuit Fifth and last of the Graham Sims at 9.57pm and impending sunset. Time tio hot foot it off the hill and hope we can get back quick enough to avoid being locked out of Ratagan YH at 11.30.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
