A really brilliant day for a round of all the Quinag tops starting from usual car park. Straightforward walkig all the way. Spidean Coinich (C); Creagh nan h-iolaire (Gt);Beinn Uidhe S top (Gt); Sail Garbh W top (Gt); Sail Garbh Far W top (Gt); out to Sail Gorm and back to Sail Garbh, back to bealach down to lochan and back to car. An Australian guy declared it the best mountain he had ever climbed and hard to disagree though certainly the weather helped. | dickscroop | 02/08/2019 |

Cairngorm Club weekend meet at Elphin. I went to Ullapool and had coffee with a couple of other members. I then went to Quinag and went up all three Corbetts solo. First went up Spidean Còinich (764m) passing over the east Top, then over points 713m (Creag na h-Iolaire Ard) and 745m (Sàil Gharbh West Top) to Sàil Gharbh (808m). Then back over point 745m and over Sàil Gharbh Far West Top to Sàil Gorm (776m). Very hot. | pwbellarby | 07/07/1991 |
