| Cycled up to Pollan Buidh from Gerry's Hostel. Sgurr Choinnich, SGurr Chaorranaich and Maoll Lunndaidh. All in the rain. | jigglybones | 25/08/2023 |

| From Glenuaig Lodge. | Peterb | 23/05/2023 |
| Long glen walk in from Craig (no easy way to access this hill) - then cut corner as per WalkHighlands route description. Started up Allt an Fhuar-thuill Bhig but found easiest route to be up ridge (Fuaran a'Bhuilgich on 1:25k). Blizzard and cold northerly for 2 hours but persisted as forecasted to clear, which on approach to first top it did. Fab long views all around. Plateaux snow covered. Slightly mystified that the surveyed high point (and Marilyn summit) isn't the Munro summit, so visited both | wychwood | 26/03/2023 |
| Maoile Lunndaidh (actual summit currently Creag Toll a' Choin) from Achnashellach on foot. Set off from Achnashellach at 7am in the dark, but was light enough to turn the head torch off by 8:30am. Reached the jump off point before Glenuig Lodge by 9am, into a fairly horrible boggy trudge across to the two waterfalls (Am Crom-allt / Allt an Fhuar-thuill Bhig) at around 385m and then a steep 420m ascent up the wet heather to just over the 800m mark where it became less steep. After that it was just a grassy/mossy walk up to Carn Nam Fiaclan. Walked on up to the actual summit Creag Toll a' Choin, where the tiny cairn was buried under a small patch of residual snow, and then headed on up to the Moaile Lunndaidh cairn, before descending NW, and then West back to the track out. 7h 28min total time. | mproudfoot | 31/12/2021 |

| First of 3. Tough start to cycle in. Reasonably tough climb up a path less grassy slope. In and out of nice views up the top | akmilne | 29/08/2020 |

| The approach path as far as the bothy is quick and easy. Thereafter the going is largely pathless. A wild wet and windy day. | Chris Terrey | 30/05/2019 |
| A 33.5km, 3 Munro epic at Glenuig, climbing Sgurr Choinnich, Sgurr a' Chaorachain & Maoile Lunndaidh. Tricky with 45mph gusts but a cracking day out. | Chris Mac | 13/04/2019 |
| From Craig to Glenuaig Lodge, then an ATV track leads from the lodge to the river, but there is no crossing point, so went back W until could splash across. Crossed An Crom-allt at NH 11255 46748 where a path climbs out, up the E bank, then peters out. Zig-zag'd up NW flank on heather, slime and greasy rocks, to Carn nam Fiaclan (no signs of other humans having used this often recommended route in texts) and on to summit. Because of the challenging river crossings, returned to Carn nam Fiaclan and descended over greasy rocks and then a fair path down W ridge to Drochaid Mhuillich, then down E flank of Sron na Frianich until could cross over and head for the plantation and back down to Craig. | Isbjorn Winter Round | 21/02/2019 |

| Long way from SC but varied walk and pleasant plateau. | mn23 | 24/07/2017 |
| Long walk to 3rd munro of the day. 2nd cairn on summit plateau. Most difficult bit was descent to near ruined cottages and finding our track back to camp. Heat intense and midges and clegs frequently in evidence. Views fabulous all day. | dave neilson | 24/07/2017 |
| Walked up via Carn nam Fiaclan from Glenuig Lodge. | Buteobuteo | 26/05/2017 |

| Solo from Craig. Circular walk taking in the three Munros. Descended North West then across the moor to the small woodland and walked back to the bike at the start of the day. 11hrs back to car. | Play2End | 18/09/2015 |
| RBS HWC May weekend at Torridon; I rose early and left the YH at 0700, I stopped several times along the Kinlochewe road to take photos; I parked at Craig, assembled my bike and left the car park at 0815; I pushed the bike up the hill in towards Maoile Lunndaidh feeling rough (too much breakfast); I left the shed / bothy at about 10.00, cross the river and headed across very rough ground before a steep ascent towards teh minor top; the tranverse to the Maoile Lunndaidh summit was simple as the visibility was ok, although cloud cover closed in on the main summit; I descended to the col and then headed back across rough ground (not as bad on descent) to the bike; I had to get off and push on occasions on the way out but the final downhill section was well worth the effort. Back at the car by 1610 (a commendable 8 hours). | langskill | 23/05/2015 |

| Solo. Single shot. No cam or GPS that I can find. Very windy day! :/ The cycle in is more of a push and even after pushing the track is hard going. V/ boggy start! Ascended up Fhar Thol Beag (by error, but was easier) then wander along the top before off N shoulder. Epic cycle out! 28.8km, 1260m 7hr45. | bowzi | 30/10/2013 |

| 3 of 8: From Creag Toll a Choin. | ChrisR | 13/06/2012 |
| This peak eluded me on a previous excursion and appears to be permanently encased whenever I am near it in thick cloud and rain. I cycled up from Craig 50 mins to a forest site just before the bothy place then slogged up in the rain. Not pleasant and navigating around to summit was interesting. I found it and promptly descended afater a quick pic. Company: Solo | iandesbottes | 11/05/2012 |
