Cycled in from the A86 leaving the bike at the track near to the Loch na H-Earba, hiked up to Bealach Leamhain, then up the stalkers path to the summit plateau. Thick cloud above 800m so no views, I returned the same way. | chillyman8 | 16/10/2020 |

Fine Munro round with Peter on a perfect still September day. | nix_snilloc | 07/09/2019 |
From lay-by on A86 west of Loch Laggan (NN 43294 83043). South across River Spean bridge then followed excellent Land-Rover track as far as Lochan na h-Earba then good path up to Bealach Leamhain. Short but easy rocky scramble up onto the summit plateau. Small cairn at Beinn a' Chlachair East Top then difficult navigation to the Munro summit through hill fog and across a mass of shattered rock and boulders. | david230201 | 20/08/2019 |
Circuit of Beinn a'Chlachair, its East Top, Geal Charn, Sron Garbh and Creag Pitridh from Moy Bridge . Outstanding views in all directions. Got so absorbed in watching two roe deer at quite close quarters that I fell into a hole between tussocks on the descent from Pitridh. Then, while resting on the sandy beach of Lochan na h-Earba, the wind switched direction and sand-blasted me with stinging quartzite granules... | Nick Down1 | 23/06/2019 |
From layby at Luiblea, biked in to stalkers track, track to high point, up rhs of cliffs, faint path. | iangalbraith | 23/06/2019 |
With Linda Sim & Lorraine Cooper Day started out promising but a couple heavy showers, low cloud on the summit & no sign of it lifting the decision was made to only do the one munro. Was taking ages to navigate our way from the summit, checking the compass bearing every 20 paces. Not much wildlife, heard a ptarmigan that eventually showed itself flying away from us. Decided to abandon the hike at the bealach below this minor summit | LizzieG | 09/06/2019 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 25/06/2018 |
From parking on A86 along tracks past Lochan na h-Earba, and up on to ridge on NE side of Coire Mor Chalachair, round to summit of Beinn a'Chlachair, then NE to East top, descent to bealach then paths to bealach between Creag Pitridh and Geal Charn, up to summit of Geal Charn, back to bealach, up to summit of Creag Pitridh, descent to path along along Allt Coire Pitridh, and return | kdbennett | 16/07/2017 |
Left car 11.40am, ran track & struggled straight up steep wet grass to ridge. Nice bright day, dappled sunlight, broken clouds, clear tops and good views. | NorfolkPT21 | 28/07/2016 |

From west of Moy Lodge. Creag a'Chuir then via 4 Sims to Geal Charn. Thought I'd make a precautionary bag of this P29 but given it's location I'll have crossed it previously between the 2 Munros. Down via Chlachair. | RHW | 03/05/2014 |

With friends. From a campsite on the SE side of Loch Pattack. We ascended the NE ridge of Carn Dearg (1034m). I went on to the subsidiary top of Diollaid a’ Chairn, catching them up in An Lairig. We climbed up steeply to join the SW ridge of Beinn a’ Chlachair and so to the summit. We descended by the NE ridge and went back to the camp site. Cycled out to Dalwhinnie. | pwbellarby | 07/07/2004 |

Alone again - no great memory of this trip but not a lot of snow. | SS | 26/03/1991 |
With Martin66. One of our daftest days out. Set off late afternoon via the usual route. Realised after an hour that we both had maps but neither of us had a compass but pressed on because the summit was clear. Of course the clag came down as we reached the top! Missed our way on the return following a path which dropped E (unknown to us). Imagine our surprise when we arrived at Loch a'Bhealaich Leamhain! Problem was we could find the outflow but couldn't find the opposite end of loch because of the visibility & no compass. Eventually paced out distance from outflow using the map & I noticed a change in vegetation when standing at what proved to be the right point to exit the loch bowl. Out in time (just) for last orders at the Drovers. Compass planted permanently about my person on the hills ever since! | NotReallyABagger | 03/08/1990 |
With: hb; Parked at Luiblea on A86. Walked track to Lochan na h'Earba then track to Loch a'Bhealaich Leamhain. Climbed steeply to B a'Chlachair E top then main summit. Returned to lochan then up Geal Charn & Sron Garbh before returning over Creag Pitridh. | Ian Baines | 22/05/1989 |
