This was the last day of the very hot spell in april early may. Don't know why there is not a proper walk for this hill.
Walked up Spidean Coinich direct from the road, over the unnamed tops to above Sail Ghorm and then back to Sail Gharbh and down the path

to the road. Long day but brilliant weather giving fab views

Brilliant photos, headless spectre. The 'top-left corner' is probably my favourite part of Scotland and is full of shapely peaks such as this - steep slopes, narrow ridges and fantastic sea-views. Looks like you had the perfect day for doing this one, as well 8)

Nice Pics! Was up there last week in horrendous weather but judging by your pics awesome views to be had.

I do agree, Quinag along with Foinaven dont have Reports on WH, both are stunning perhaps its Paul's way of keeping these hills to himself? :lol:

I was there a fortnight ago and had a misty start to the day. Got some excellent views once along the ridge. Even so a fantastic day was had. Agree with what you say the views and the whole area it is stunning. Your pics are superb, my sunny day saved itself for Stac Polly.
