| Troisgeach, Meall nan Caora and Meall an Fhudair, up zig-zags from opposite Glen Falloch Farm. Returned by heading north into Gleann nan Caorann. | TRG318 | 20/03/2024 |
| Winter sunshine, light fresh frost on grass with old patches of frozen snow, easy to avoid. Surrounding summits partly in cloud, partly clear, spectacular where clear. 2h 25m up, 2h down. | NorfolkPT21 | 06/01/2024 |
| Meall an Fhudair & Beinn Damhain from A82. Ascended track, taking branch right above pylon line. Where track curved West, took a direst line up the rough terrain to Troisgeach, then across to Meall nan Caora, then dropped back down to around 650m before the final pull up to Fhudair's summit. Nothing to see due to clag, so descended on tussocky ground S to the Allt na Lairig, then directly up to the summit of Beinn Damhain. Descended E to LOchan Beinn Damhain, then north to gain track and followed that back to junction above pylon line, and back down to A82. Total time: 5h 35min | mproudfoot | 09/09/2023 |
| Climbed with Emily-May and Dave M. Great sunny day, a bit hot! | amcculloch | 17/06/2023 |
| Parked as others in front of old gate between 2 large rocks. Tried to be clever and took a shortcut 200m after the bridge over the railway which was interesting but pointless unless you hate landrover tracks. Kept finding and losing paths. Descended to take in the Graham/Fiona opposite south. | Jhimmy | 19/03/2023 |
| Clockwise circuit solo. Great views and easy underfoot on the traverse to Troisgeach, via the other top. | Nick Canute | 25/02/2023 |
| MTB from Falloch Falls car park to end of hydro road. Ascent to summit up northern craggy slopes. With JD | John Lee | 22/02/2023 |
| Wet anti-clockwise loop with Dave | mike__riley | 04/02/2023 |

| Parked at the start of the hydro track opposite Glen Falloch farm, there is space for one car by a gate which obviously hasn't been opened for years. Up the track to the junction beyond the pylons, then just bashed straight up from there, initially quite hard going but it soon relents. Then a pleasant plod up to Troisgeach, easily descending to the col avoiding Meall nan Caora, then a faint path on good ground to the summit. Then on to the Graham. | Owen B | 18/09/2022 |
| Up from Trosgiche hitting cloud at around 600m but still nice with rocky outcrops and lochans. | Adrian | 30/08/2022 |
| Parking was difficult, in the end tucked it in at the end of the rough road (NN 320 198), to the side of the cattle grid but not causing an obstruction. Then back along the road to Glen Falloch Farm where no parking is allowed, climbed over the locked gate and up the Hydro electric road to a small cairn at NN 310 199, from there a very hit and miss track goes up the NE ridge to Troisgeach. A delightful knoll and lochan trek takes one to the main summit of the Corbett, Meall an Fhudair. From here a fairly easy slope down to the bealach near .382, followed by a stiff but straightforward climb to the Graham, Beinn Damhain. Then a long curve keeping to the high ground round to the HF, Garabal Hill. Finally, an easy descent to the bridge over Allt Arnan at NN 296 181 and the hydro road back down. Mostly pathless but great 360 degree all round views (especially of Beinn Bhuide), so the 19km round with 1300m ascent took just short of 7 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 24/08/2022 |

| The cloud had largely dispersed and it had got progressively hotter as I made my way from Troisgeach via Meall na Caora to this Corbett. In wetter conditions or poor visibility this would be more challenging. The pull up onto Meall an Fhudair was easier than the earlier climb to Troisgeach. However, I was at least an hour too slow. I got a signal at the summit and sent Mhairi an update. Fabulous views all round, including Beinn Bhuidhe (Jim's final Munro). I returned over Troisgeach and lost no more time in getting back to the car. | langskill | 23/07/2021 |

| From Glen Falloch farm via the east ridge and Troisgeach | davidpettit84 | 20/04/2014 |
| Thick mist and a lot of snow made navigation and progress slow. Still enjoyable. The snow was just right, firm enough to avoid floundering yet soft enough to walk rather than skate.Just how many padlocks does a single gate need? I counted ten. | Martin R | 13/03/2014 |
| From the A82. Conditions OK. | bowlesy | 24/08/2013 |
