"Part of a weeks walking holiday in NW Scotland. A bright sunny day, we decided to revisit this peak, but it is a complex mountain with 8 separate summits along a number of different ridges. We decided to visit only 4 of those peaks on this day. We started from a small car park in Glen Torridon and climbed up steeply to the summit of Spidean Coire nan Clach 993m, enjoying good views all of the way. We then went east along the ridge to Sgurr Ban 971m where we had views of the other 2 eastern summits and Ruadh Stac Beag to the N. We then retraced our steps W to our original summit and continued further W onto the outlying peak of Coinneach Mhor, here we saw good views of the Torridon hills and the next outlyer Sail Mhor, but not for us today, our objective was the main peak to the north Ruadh Stac Mhor 1010m, where we had superb views of the Beinn Eighe tops and surrounding Torridon peaks, including Liatach. Our return route was to drop down the steep stone gulley alongside the triple buttress into Coire Mhic Fhearchair, walk around the loch and around the foot of Sail Mhor, and then a 5km walk on a good path back to Glen Torridon." — davidlong • Jun 6, 2005
"Cairngorm Club Torridon meet with club members. From the roadside at NH025611 along the footpath above Allt a’ Chuirn. The footpath continues up a band between two streams although not shown on the map. Creag Dhubh* was reached. We went over pinnacles to Sgurr an Fhir Duibhe and continued over Sgurr Ban to Spidean Coire nan Clach (NB trig point is not the highest point). We went on to A’ Choineach Mhor (this is the top as defined in the 1974 edition of Munro’s Tables) and Ruadh-stac Mór. We returned along the ridge to A’ Choineach Mhor West Top (this is the top of A’ Choineach Mhor as defined in the 1980 edition of Munro’s Tables), and on to Sàil Mhor. It was fine and clear until 17:30 and then heavy rain.
*Note: This is the top as listed in Munro’s Tables 1974 Edition as a Munro Top. The 1980 Edition indicates that this top had been deleted as a Munro Top. The Database of British and Irish Hills (in 2020) gives this top the name Creag Dhubh (North Top) with height 907m. Also listed in this database is Creag Dhubh with height 929m. We went over this top too." — peter43 • Sep 26, 1982
