3. Best way off Chno Dearg to Beinn na Lap.

4. On the descent of Mullach nan Coirean has anyone tried the direct into Coire Raibhach or is it better to stick with the NE ridge?
Hi Bill

1) On Nickys ramsey we crossed headed just south of east down the ridge and crossed the burn at NN 28728 72693 and basically wnet east to NN 28728 72693. some had said go a little south to skirt the rocks but we had no problem heading straight up.

2) follow rigde to Meall Cian cairn NE corner. from here there is a 'path' via piller to track at NN 28728 72693.

3) head to Sron Ruadh and down blunt ridge at end southerly then SE. there was a nice snow field here when we did it (This time last year) straight across and pick a gully and straight up to ridge.

4) no not tried that but would be very rough. good path down NE ridge. N ridge is definately slower. from the forest track go SOUTH EAST 0.2 miles to fire break descend this to lower track and follow do not go to road as this means more climbing. From slight bend at 131 707 descend to road.

Can't say this is certainly the best way but we couldn't find any thing better.
