| Really just the Walk Highlands route in reverse. However we failed to go through the gate at the bottom of the Allt na Feola so we went over a ladder stile and followed fence until it met the path at 350m. Probably harder this way. No views, cold for July. Just Sgurr nan Ceannaichean and Moruisg. | Lynnebe | 01/07/2024 |

| Climbed under the impression it was a Munro! Still a good walk round from Moriusg. The stalkers' path on the descent is unpleasantly wet underfoot. | Rob Rees | 11/07/2021 |
| Solo clockwise circuit starting with the munro Moruisg. Dry but claggy for most of the morning - total time was 4h 43m. | mproudfoot | 02/11/2020 |
| Waited in the bunkhouse at Ledgowan for it to stop raining - it didn't! Set off from Glencarron, up a very wet slope and then on to Sgurr nan Ceannaichan, before descending to the sound of rutting deer to Glencarron. | jigglybones | 27/10/2020 |

| From Beinn Tharsuinn, via Bealach Bhearnais. Across the Pollan Buidhe, then up the ziggiest-zaggiest path I know, much better than going straight up. Last 200m of ascent no path. West from the summit until easier going north then west around Creag an Ardaich back to the track, then back to Craig. | Owen B | 08/07/2018 |
| Solo. 12km(comma) 6 hours (11:05-17:02). | Fidget | 13/05/2018 |
| Meall an Fhliuchaird and Sgurr nan Ceannaichean from Craig. Simple walk to summit of Meallan Fhliuchaird, descent to col, then ascent of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean NW ridge (quite nice route), descent using stalkers path to Pollan Buidhe. Good views to Coulin Forest. | RobertP | 03/07/2017 |
| Moruisg + Sgurr nan Ceannaichean. Usual route, starting from layby on A890. Very wet underfoot. Broken cloud at top so views were not brilliant. Totally clear by the time I got back to car (typical). Nice walk though! | tsharp | 21/04/2017 |
| Cycled round from Craig; had planned to go up the stalkers' path, but didn't see it and instead took an off-piste route further east. | Pete R | 05/08/2016 |
| With Tony. From Glen Carron via Moruisg. Good views before it clouded over. | zoob | 03/06/2016 |

| Lovely long ridge from the Munro to get to this. The route north back to the road is awkward and tiring. | Play2End | 11/10/2014 |
| Easy bag from the Munro Moruisg. Nice stalkers path down. Newly erected deer fences varound to protect new trees. | Jhimmy | 27/06/2014 |

| 6th – Solo. From Craig, follow the track along the Allt a Chonais, ascend S flank to summit and follow ridge round to Munro, descent down NW flank of Moruisg (as no longer had a map). Completed while it was still classified as a Munro as part of the walk including Moruisg. Snow above 750m, strong winds and light snow showers. The strong winds led to the added excitement of losing my only copy of the map on the summit plateau – leading to the most expensive map I have ever bought. | RGibbs | 06/02/2011 |

| MC JC With Moruisg. Hard going in deep snow. White out across to Moruisg, . Very avalanche prone slopes on descent. | Martin66 | 03/04/2010 |

| Arrived from Moruisg then took the north ridge off and then east to the stalkers path. This was not the best path and so hacked cross country to the car park on the A890. | garyhoney | 15/07/2009 |

| After cycling in from Craig we did this then munro and Martin was so knackered from the cycling he crawled to this peak in the rain. Later it was declared a corbett much to his chagrin. Found it a bit boring not a peak I would return to with any desire. Company: The nearly beaten Martin Stewart. | iandesbottes | 02/11/2007 |
