EUHWC Cannich trip. With Jackie, Jacob, Arnaud, and Joe W. Rough weather but got views off the top! Stunning glen | ChrisVDM | 23/03/2024 |
From Mullardoch Dam, along N shore of loch mostly on path, N side of Allt Coire a' Mhaim crossing at 480m to gain SSE ridge of An Socach. Then followed the ridge line over An Riabhachan, Sgurr na Lapaich and Carn nan Gobhar. Descended E from bealach N of Mullach na Maoile to Allt Mullardoch then S to meet outward track. | welshyboyo | 28/05/2023 |

Carn nan Gobhar (992m), Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m), An Riabhachan (1130m), An Socach (1069m), and included Meall Bac a' Chul-dhoire (496m) on the return for the Loch views. Solo. 22 miles/13 hours, no boat, return via loch. Most summits just in cloud (this one was clear) but some good views just below and some sun glimpses. Bit breezy. | meltdiceburg | 20/07/2022 |
Mullardoch round of all Munros and all Munro Tops. 3 day backpack. | Geoff Briggs | 13/07/2022 |
With D , No boat available so walked out along loch then ascent. Very warm. Swim in the pools at left side river before starting steepest climb. Round of 4 then back to Cannich. | Rodge | 04/06/2022 |
Long hot day with John - made use of Angus's boat service to take us to the base of An Socach, and then did the four munros back around to the dam. Blue Skies and a hot sun made for a very tiring initial ascent, and the 350m ascent up to Sgùrr na Lapaich was a killer. Turned out that 3L of water wasn't enough - doh. Anyway, we made it back to the car in just under 9H - fairly slow, but the heat made it impossible to maintain a quicker pace. | mproudfoot | 24/07/2021 |

Bagged as part of a guided hike with the legend that is Steve Fallon, he holds the record for having completed the Munros x 15 times now!! The hike started at the Mullardoch dam at 8am from where we were raced up the loch in 10mins in a very small boat. We hiked back over the four Munros west to east in this order: An Socach (1069m), An Riabhachan (1130m), Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m) & Carn nan Gobhar (992m). It was overcast most of the day with the sun only appearing on the final summit, which made a sunny and pleasant walk out along a new hydro track, 9:45 hours all in. | chillyman8 | 19/06/2019 |
Left the boat at 0900 
Summit at 1850 
After descending to the bealach the snow was just a dusting 
The low cloud looked like it was here to stay & we would get a summit with a typical Scottish view. We took some photos at the first cairn rather disheartened that our luck had run out, suddenly the cloud lifted, amazing views & an amazing cairn came into view a one that deserved munro status, a quick run to the real summit to get the views. 
With Dianne Scorgie & Paola Cabrelli 
What an amazing day this is turning out to be 
So far the summits have been clear when we were there | LizzieG | 06/05/2019 |
