Coulin Forest Corbetts  

Getting there
The main route up these two fine Corbett peak begins from the large car-park below Liathach, west of the bridge on A896 over the Allt a'Choire Dhuibh Mhor and 5km west of the village of Torridon.

Sgurr Dubh
From the car-park, cross the bridge over the Allt a'Choire Dhuibh Mhor. Immediately on the south side of the road you'll find a path aiming south-east towards a wooden bridge over a burn. Cross this bridge and follow the path (a Right-of-Way) for 1km. You'll pass around the back of Ling Hut (an SMC club bothy - see 'Accommodation and Food') and a ruin. The route turns south, climbs slightly then meets up with a burn heading down from Sgurr Dubh. Leave the path here and follow the burn south-east. The morraines passed are intriguing, then the edge of a long deepening cleft is followed up to around c500m. A gentle but bouldery climb for the remaining 200m of ascent and Sgurr Dubh's summit is reached - stunning views, particularly over Glen Torridon to Beinn Eighe and Liathach.

Sgurr nan Lochan Uaine
Return westwards for around 300m, then aim south-south-west, loosing height while bounding down over bouldery ground. Passing between lochans, navigation on the flat ground can be very testing in mist. A lochan at the lowest point between the two Corbetts is gained, from where a straightforward gradual clamber over more boulders gains Sgurr nan Lochan Uaine's summit. The views over Lochan Uaine to Beinn Liath Mhor and beyond are excellent.

Return
If the ground is not too icy, you can aim directly down to the lochans, otherwise aim south-east on easier ground, then turn towards the lochans. From the lochans follow one of the burns north-west over heathery ground and reach the Right-of-Way path. Follow the path back to the route start.
