"Anti-clockwise circuit as per page 338 of my newly acquired copy of “The Grahams & The Donalds” Scottish Mountaineering Club Hillwalkers guide. Room for maybe 4 cars by the bridge near the Old Corry roadhead, not that I saw anyone else today. A yellow bath duck crowned Beinn na Caillich’s massive cairn and golden eagles soared over the link ridge. After which I happened on a fluffload of fresh snow white feathers where a ptarmigan had recently found itself on the menu. The steep scree run down to Beinn Dearg Bheag was fast but I regretted leaving my walking pole in the car. Ideal conditions today." — davidb • Mar 1, 2023
"From the end of the Coire-chat-achan road (NG 61917 22764), where I was dropped off by my spouse. Took a faint path WNW across the moor, then ascent up the boulder field, very steep in parts until the ground eased further up to a mix of grass, heather and rocks. Visited the huge cairn and trig point before heading down to the connecting bealach. Then easy ascent to the top of Beinn Dearg Mor. Descent to Bealach Coire Sgreahmach was nasty - very steep and loose scree all the way down. Then good path up, initially over boulders, to the top of Beinn Dearg Bheag - visiting high point and large cairn - the latter a much better viewpoint. Then followed path down its east ridge, over the Allt Beinn Deirge, and across the moor on a faint path back to the start. Solo.
Fine and sunny, with some sea mist in the afternoon." — marktrengove2 • Sep 2, 2021
