Solo.Dangerous Dave14/06/2010
After ascending Sgùrr na h-Eige went S to Creag Ghlas, Stuc Fraoch Choire. This top is a Murdo and was my last Murdo. It was also the last Murdo for one of the friends I was with. This top was not until recent times a Munro top and so had not been done on my first completion of the Munro tops. We continued to Stùc Mòr and Stùc Bheag. I went alone over Meall Sguman on the way back to Carnach and by bike to Killilin. The weather was cloudy but mostly dry during the day, with cloud-free summits.pwbellarby27/06/2009
Continued out along the ridge from Stuc Mor, it looked a long way back up to the main ridge. yorkie26/05/2009

staying Albeithe, up Corbett Surr Gaorsaic then up on the Surr na Ceathreamhnan,all the way out to all the NW murdo tops inc some fabulous big boulders one of which was white quarzite. Back contouring around two corries on north side and back to the col W of An Socach when tirednes gnawed to my brain pleading with me not to go up W to collect the other Murdo top, but I just had to, knowing I,d regrtit if I didn't so I did and am very grateful. Another great solo day on the heights.vegibagger25/07/2007

Annoying! - the creation of this new 'Munro Top' in the 1997 review, after I'd already finished them in 1996 on Carn Dearg Meadhonach. Resulted in a long walk from Dorusdain, Falls of Glomach, on to Sgurr nan Ceathramhnan. Bonus was bagging Corbett Sgurr Gaorsaic on way back.Aye Jimmy27/08/2000
