Fantastic day out on my own and nobody else on the mountain! Weather was also brilliant with totally clear skies and no wind. Awesome!Kevthecat27/03/2023

Cloud cover. Breezy. Feeling more cold. Took standard route from Loch Cuaich up SE ridge of Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach. Straightforward to this point. Felt very cold by 850m - increasing NE wind. Route from here to summit appears to be via simple but steep path, but this was buried under considerable (steep) snowfields in places. Forced a steep, icy, bouldery scramble. Slightly heartrate elevating in places. Summit easy to locate. From summit, elected to come down the S ridge (this aspect was much less frozen), and without further drama, completed the circuit. My guidebook says 3hrs45 for this walk. It took me 5hrs30. Conditions were a bit trickywychwood01/03/2023

Circuit of Sgurr a' Mhaoraich and tops. Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach, Sgurr a' Mhaoraich, steep drop and then very steep climb to Am Bathaich. Continued to Sgurr Thionail and descended E ridge to Glen Quoich. Intermittent sunshine and showers with some excellent views down Loch Hourn and to the S Glen Shiel ridge.RobertP30/05/2022

Treacherous new snow on top but an outstanding stalkers' path up and down. Views got better after I left summit!NorfolkPT2102/04/2022
Straight up from South beside waterfall using old stalkers path. Visited Simm on the way, then the Munro. Melting snow. Mostly still covered higher up. With Band R.jenx10/03/2022
Solo ascent on CHMC 2021/22 Kingie NY Triptleach1204/01/2022
Solo ascent in semi-winter conditions from car park near the concrete bridge. Used the stalker path for the ascent, was fine up to the ridge, then patchy snow and ice made the going a little slower, though not enough that I needed to put the spikes on. Used the ice axe a bit for the final few bits of ascent (big drops). Drizzled icy rain/sleet for most of the day, and dismal vis above 900m, so sacked the idea of doing the horseshoe, and just decided to drop straight down to Coire nan Eirichean instead - down to a hydro track which led back to the single-track road, and then the last couple of kms back to the car. Total time 5h 25min.mproudfoot12/12/2021

From Kinloch Hourn via stalkers' path on W ridge of Sgurr a' Mhaoraich Beag - this goes higher than maps show to roughly 600m contour. Down via N ridge, Sgurr Thionail and Bealach Coire Sgoireadail.quadbarrel28/06/2021
