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.meltdiceburg20/07/2022
Mullardoch round of all Munros and all Munro Tops. 3 day backpack.Geoff Briggs13/07/2022
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.Rodge04/06/2022
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.mproudfoot24/07/2021

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.chillyman819/06/2019
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 thereLizzieG06/05/2019

4th and last munro of the day. Summit on northern most cairn. Passed lower cairn in search of a path down to Loch Mullardoch and walk back to car below the dam. Fantastic long day walk. Really enjoyable. Good start with Angus's boat trip.dave neilson09/06/2017
