Parked in layby S of Achnashellach station. Good path to the foot of the BLM ridge. Thereafter steep ascent on eroded path to reach BLM Far E top. Lovely ridge walk along to BLM E top and the main top, descending on cairned path to bealach, including some minor scrambling. Good path to Sgorr Ruadh, then free format descent down to the lochans to the SE and the path back to Achnashellach. Another long but enjoyable day with excellent views all round.

From Beinn Liath Mhor East Top, again an easy stroll down then up rocky path to summit. Not true for the descent however. Cairns point the way off rocky summit crown to path marked on map at NG9850 5123. From here a tortuous descent on tired legs down a rugged path to Drochaid Coire Lair from where the descent is more gentle rejoining ascent rout al the way back to Achnashellach Station | mntainman | 04/09/2021 |

Solo fr Achnashellach after driving up overnight in new Smart car; solid blue sky, clear tops, enough snow to decorate the hills! Frozen underfoot but not treacherous on B L Mhor. Astonishing view of Liathach! Running in microspikes, delightful. | NorfolkPT21 | 14/02/2017 |
With DW and SL. Intending to do the Munro pair, but strong winds (some of the strongest we'd walked in, despite not being forecast) prevented us doing Sgorr Ruadh. Descended back to Achnashellach through Coire Lair. | AGWilliamson | 29/12/2016 |
Bleeding steep climb, into sunny, misty half views which were enchanting and made it worth the early start | nickywood1 | 08/06/2016 |

Round of Beinn Liath Mhor & Sgorr Ruadh with Shaky on a clear but overcast & relatively calm day.
