"My wife and I managed to get the peak climbed despite our short stay in Fort William of only two days and less than favorable forecast. We managed to stay dry on our ascent that accented with blustery winds and multiple rainbows. Down low we enjoyed the expansive views then as we approached the cairns visibility diminished substantially, barely seeing folks ahead of us. Then I realized a good part of the loss of visibility was simply my glasses fogging up. Take off glasses….ah much better…until clouds thicken again. Finally the summit flatten off and we could start to make out the remnants of stone walls and then the obelisk on top of a rocky mound. Photo ops then find a less windy spot for some snacks. Just as we were leaving the rain came in and continued for the next hour and half. With the one two punch of rain and strong winds we were drenched in no time as we shuffled downhill passing the crowds making their way up. At least the rain/wind was at their backs. Fortunately in the final hour the rain gave up, clouds parted and sections of blue appeared making for a more cheery return to our car." — Nimblefoot • Sep 25, 2023

"Cheers to Nancy and I for tackling this beast! It started out with gradual stone step section. Switchbacks at times were long. TONS of people on the trail due to the great conditions. Needed a rain jacket and gloves as we climbed. Clouds parted as we made our way to the steeper scree and rocky sections near the top. Saw a rainbow on the way down! Legs are going to be sore tomorrow from the downward descent. " — lfrancois • Sep 12, 2023

"Used an e-bike up Glen Lui to access Derry Cairngorm, leaving the bike behind Derry Lodge. Then took the path north over Carn Crom and up to the summit. Return by outward route, continuing by riding down to Braemar. With RP. Hiking part: 13.1 km, with 805m of ascent. e-biking part: 21.8 km. Fine weather, some high cloud in the afternoon. Fresh WNW wind." — marktrengove2 • May 19, 2023

"Traverse of the Five Sisters Ridge, from the Glenshiel battlefield car park at NH 00907 13524. Steep climb of 550m to Bealach an Lapain, then rough ridge walking over Beinn Odhar, Sgurr nan Spainteach, Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, Sgurr na Carnach and Sgurr Fuaran. Then followed the main path around and down to Ault a'Chruinn by the stalkers' path. Misty at first, clearing to bright sunshine later. Windless. Attacked by midges, flying ants and keds! Solo." — marktrengove2 • Aug 30, 2021
