Parked in the car park above the Fairy Pools car park for an attempt on the 4 central Simms: Sgurr an Fheadain, Sgurr a' Mhadaidh Far East Top, Bidein Druim nan Ramh (failed - too much risk) and An Caisteal. Up and down via Coir' a' Tairneilear. | PGCE | 01/06/2023 |

Cuillin ridge:Via Carn an Tarneilllear to An Caisteal; the three tops of Bidean Drum nan Ramh and back via Sgurr an Fheadian. With my pelvis problem could not make the step up at the start of Centre Peak from north so contoured round and up the other side before continuing over West Peak. | dickscroop | 27/05/2018 |
with the crowds heading for the fairy pools of Coire na Criche. Wanted to find the pool with the underwater arch, which is on my wish/tick list, determined to go in and do it at the end of the day after my climb. Climbed up the scramble to the left of Waterpipe gully then down to the col and off to the west. 
Back at pools early evening stripped down to shorts, gingerly clambered across slippery rocks in the pool and took the plunge. Breath gasping coldness. Up for air, quick gulp of breath dived down and under the arch and up into the other pool. Further quick gulp of air down and under again back into first pool swim to the side and out. Hooray. Been wanting to do this for some years when next in GlenBrittle. Result! | vegibagger | 19/05/2017 |

With Gerry Akroyd (guide) and Glen Hopkins. We left the car at the Glen Brittle side of Bealach a' Mhaim track. Jumped over Allt Coir' a' Mhadaidh and walked into Coire a' Mhadaidh on the righthand side. We crossed to the other side of the coire and climbed up to col SE of Sgurr an Fheadain and on to the summit of Sgurr an Fheadain. We proceeded along the ridge towards Bidein Druim nan Ramh. Then we descended into Coir' a' Tairneilear and descended the righthand side of the coire to get back to the car. There was new soft snow in the coires and above, starting to get hard high up. It snowed on and off. | pwbellarby | 23/03/1983 |
