I ... have been planning a Crianlarich 7 peak round for some time now - the coincidence of course being that just now I've stumbled across your own! This is a terrific read
...May I ask - presumably paths were more or less absent except for on the ridge between Ben More and Stob Binnein, as well as the descent off Ben More?
Fantastic report and thing to do, nice one

Thanks for the kind words, HHG. I'm not the best person to ask about paths because I generally try to avoid them. However, cranking up my atrophied memory cells... the only part of the ridge other than on BM and SB where I recall there being a length of path was on the bit between Beinn a' Chroin and An Caisteal. However, the terrain was quite easy going where there is no path - I mean: not waist-deep heather, no head-height bracken. It would be a bit more difficult in clag, no doubt, with a couple of potential big drops to watch out for...
But a bit of careful compass work (or GPS) would see you OK, I'm sure.
I'm sure you'll get a lot out of the round - lots of variety and great views to enjoy; and I hope to read your report on this site in the very near future
