On the far left of the corrie is The Mess of Pottage, with the straight gash of Jacob’s Ladder on its right flank. Next is an area of broken ground, and in the centre of the corrie is Aladdin’s Buttress, which is defined on its left by the big dog-leg gully of Aladdin’s Couloir. This buttress actually consists of a lower dome-shaped mass of rock with more broken ground above. Here are a number of ridges, the right-most one, Pygmy Ridge, being the most obvious. Next is Fluted Buttress, which gives the longest routes in the corrie and merges into Aladdin’s Buttress, and it is cut by a number of gullies and faults. On its right side it runs into the snow slopes of the Goat Track, the wide slope leading to the col at the head of Coire Domhain. Last is the Fiacaill Buttress, which lies in a subsidiary part of the corrie high on the right and forms the side of the Fiacaill a’Choire an t-Sneachda, usually just referred to as the Fiacaill Ridge, which separates this corrie from the Coire an Lochain.
