"Start 0720h + Finish 1835h = 11h15, 31.1km, ascent 2170m Fairly standard 5 Munro guidebook antI-clockwise round of the Abhain Gleann nam Fiadh taking care to visit all 9 Munro Tops, some of which get bypassed on the main MunroIst tramp. It’s a classic long day spent wandering high ridges so I ensured an early start and good forecast.

"With Jonathan Bellarby. Up the footpath in Gleann Fiadh. and the path beside Allt Toll Easa. Where the path crosses to the east bank we struck up the mountainside towards the east ridge. We climbed a steep snow field to the south of the ridge to reach the summit of Tom a’ Chòinich. Continued to Carn Eighe and some of the tops of Mam Sodhail. Much snow on N facing slopes with many cornices." — peter43 • Apr 18, 1982
