Wet and windy ascent, with Tom and Duncan, following the muddy track towards the summit. Forget about doing the tops in this wind. | alexmaclennan | 17/02/2024 |

Used car park near Auchlean, Glen Feshie. Mullach Clach a'Bhlair, Carn Ban Mor and Sgor Gaoith on good tracks. Very windy with cloud base progressively rising to 1000m during the day. With Gillian | richard69 | 10/10/2023 |
From Auchlean carpark, through pines on superb path, to carn Ban and then along edge. No cairn, big drop with blocky edge. In rain but view at the top. Continue to Mullach Clach. Solo. | Denise | 07/10/2023 |

OMC Meet at Milehouse, Kincraig 
 
With Andy Moffat, James Priestley and Ali Shaw, started at Achlean car park. Followed good path up to Carn Ban Mor, then north to Sgor Gaoith. Descended into Coire Gorm a' Chrom-alltain, then out along the path to the lower Glen Feshie carpark. Snow started above 700m some deep area, which I struggled with, really hard going. 
 
Glad I wore winter boots, but no need for crampons. Fantastic views in every direction, 7hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 11/03/2023 |

From Aviemore via Allt Coire Follais to Argyll Stone. Windy with white-out above 950m made for slow going. Return via Meall Buidhe and Geal Charn and along Allt a Mharcaidh (no path on ground, wouldn’t recommend) | Yrarthblewog | 21/02/2022 |
