Camped at Cluanie and did the ridge from Creag a Mhaim but continued to Sgurr na Sgine (ascending straight up the face) and dropped down to Glen Shiel via Faochaog. Had left bike at the road, but still tried to hitch. Gave up and cycled back to Cluanie as midges were biting.jigglybones29/05/2019

You cross this to get to the munro. It is an easy final ascent. If you come up the steep nose from A87 it's a brutal climb but the views are worth itAristotle Chip15/05/2016

Mixed Day, with Clarealwaysinshorts07/06/2011
3pm start due to rain and low cloud cover. A long slog up in wind and rain, 3 hours to the top of Faochag and another to the top of Sgurr na Sgine. 2 hours down still in the wind and the rain!!akraw07/06/2011
After a full breakfast in the Kintail Lodge Hotel I parked in Glen Shiel in a lay-by about 100 metres further up the glen from the point where a public right of way to Loch Quoich. I passed through the gate at the start of the right of way but immediately struck uphill. It was a warm sunny day. I was moving very slowly after the previous day's exertions. A couple of deer fences added to the difficulties, although I found a gate through the first one. The views more than compensated for the hard work. People on the stalkers path up to the Forcan Ridge and on the summit of The Saddle were clearly visible. From the former Munro Top at Faochag the angle eased and it was a pleasant high level walk before steepening again to Sgurr na Signe’s North West Top and the summit over some rocky ground. Rather than retrace my steps I descended to the col below The Saddle, contoured round below the Forcan ridge next to a wall to pick up the excellent path beyond Meallan Odhar and back down to the roadlangskill10/04/2011
