Christine Shepherd walked up on May 29th, 2005 [from/via/route] Walked from Cairn Gorm [with] Graeme, Adam, Miriam, James and Chris [weather] Sleet & snow - It was on this peak that our party split. Three of us opted out of risking Angel peak (Sgor an Lochain Uaine) because we were afraid of corries on the ridge.

Mark Davidson climbed it on June 17th, 2005 [with] MK [weather] Clear on the tops - Wild camped in Lairig Ghru near the bothy for 2 nights after backpacking in from Linn of Dee. Apart from MK's pissy fit over a camera, this was a fantastic day in the high mountains.

Roderick Devall, Paul Booth, Simon Duerden, Ian Simpson, Trevor Williams, Tom Mcewan and Matthew Thomas have all walked, climbed & bagged Cairn Toul (Carn an t-Sabhail).
