Sgòrr nan Lochan Uaine & Sgùrr Dubh from the Coire Dubh car park. Followed stalkers path south to around point 370m then left the path, east across the rough to eventually a steep final section of scree to the summit of Sgòrr nan Lochan Uaine. From there, descended N down a partial path, then direct across the lochan-filled rough to the start of the reascent up Sgurr Dubh. Instead of going up the gully to the s top, we countoured around to the north side of the summit and ascented up a shoulder to the summit. Descended back down the gully, then west to a deep gorge and followed Allt nan Corrag back down to the boggy terrain below and west back across to the inbound stalkers path which we followed back to the car. Total times: 5h 51min, total moving time: 4h 26min (we spend a good bit of time on both summits).mproudfoot23/09/2023

Solo on an iffy weather day. Standard SMC route, taking Sgorr nan Locahan Uaine first & then Sgurr Dubh. Followed path for as long as it went up, then across the tops. Retreated quite a long way S from Sgurr Dubh which paid off in an easier than expected descent at the expense of a longer walk.NotReallyABagger25/05/2021

on own, after Sgor nan Lochain Uaine. ridge between the two very rough but not too much up and down given decent clear day. Fabulous array of lochans all over a complex hill. Near views of Torridon giants and Trotternish to west. descended by L bank of obvious gorge. Again, ok if clear. A long great day, with sun later on and a dip in one of the lochans.niallp26/05/2013
