In the March of 1996 I visited the Ben Alder area with a couple of colleagues from work. We had rather a wild, windy time in the area's bothies before my companions headed for home. I jumped on the train and went out towards the west coast to have a look at the Corbetts of the area.

I walked up into the corrie below Rois-Bheinn and An Stac, and went up high to the col between them. I then dumped my sack and bivvie gear and in the increasing gloom of the evening I scrambled to the top of An Stac.

The next day I climbed to the main ridge and walked it from its western end out back over Druim Fiaclach to the east. The day after I climbed the pair of Corbetts high above the western shore of Loch Shiel.
