Just to underline David McSporran's comment below - the books and various other route recommendations that I saw didn't mention that path up to the lochans either. It's obvious enough in good visibility once you're in the corrie, but it would definitely be worth seeking out even in not so good conditions, as it looks an awful lot easier than getting up the steep bit of the corrie between Sgurr Dubh and the lochans!

Long walk in and out from Inchrill made for a long day. Brilliant sunny day from start to finish made this a really memorable day in the hills. Completed ridge walk after summit and decended ascent path. Still remnants of cornice on ridge even though it was mid April. Views were stunning.

Whilst the MM & SMC routes suggest climbing from Coire na Sleaghaich to the col NW of Sgurr Dubh, if you keep following the well trodden path, this will take you further up the Coire and then directly up to lochans S of the summit.

I completed the full traverse (from Inchreril) on 11 April 2006.
With deep soft snow above 2000ft it was a bit of a trial and took a full nine hours (for reasonably fit hill walkers). A maginficient mountain - the ridge from the summit is 'fun' under deep snow, and required some care (ice axe and crampons). Below 2000ft this mountain is very boggy after rain/thaw.
One additional comment: Slioch has two summits. According to my GPS the second summit (without the trig point) is 20ft higher than the first.

Climbed on a hot day in August - my mate Mike was slightly hung-over and seemed to climb the hill sitting on his a*se with his head in his hands, but considered it worth it in the end. Views in all directions fantastic, A right good day out!

The finest day out in the hills I can remember. Beautiful warm day in May, fantastic views of Loch Maree.
Only spoilt by the older members of our group skinny dipping on the way back- not a sight for sore eyes.
