1 of 6: From Kilfinnan. Parking is limited due to the Coire Glas construction depot. The security man was helpful and found us a spot. We went up a track before the comms mast which led to gates: see Black P on WH. With Sam.ChrisR07/04/2023
Descended from Sean Meall in rain and low cloud and picked our way over slabs, mossy grass and a few lochans to col and then similar up to the summit. Intermittent path. Summit cairn. Descended north east down ridge til reached less steep, predominantly grassy terrain below cloud level. We then picked our way, on an intermittent path/ sheep trod SE, with bracken and grass and latterly sheep pasture, avoiding woods, to reach the aerial at Kilfinnan, where car parked at road end. Descent much better than anticipated. Raining.Denise 16/06/2022
A day and a bit with a bivi at 700 metres on Ben Tee. Could have finished it in the day but it was a nice evening and I had a good temperature inversion in the early morning. From Kilfinnan up first a track just west of the transmitter mast then straight up to ridge on very good ground. Bracken may be a problem later in the year. Over Meallan nan Dearcag, then a brilliant ridge in glorious sun over Sean Mheall, Sron a Choire Ghaibhe SE top, Sron a Choire Ghaibhe main top and on to Meall a' Choire Ghlais. Then down firstly north to the bealach. Did not like the look of the side of Ben Tee facing me and I had plenty of time so worked my way round to the easier ground of the east face, near to the normal route, to bivi. Comfortable night, morning temperature inversion, quickly up to ben Tee summit and back to the car for 9.00 am. Not impressed by the squelchy walk out, my ascent route was much pleasanter.dickscroop03/06/2022

With friend. The forecast suggested bad weather so the start was delayed. From Kilfinnan at the NE end of Loch Lochy. We climbed up the hillside ~ NWN. We followed the ridge over Meall nan Dearcag, Sean Mheall, a small subsidiary top, to reach the summit of Sron a Choire Ghairbh.pwbellarby19/07/1998
