Parked at start of old road just north of Bridge of Grudie hydro/house track. Along hydro track and through gate at end, straight up the hill to join the stalkers' path and the branch that goes into Coire Briste. Cut off below summit and straight up. Off north to Loch na Teangaidh Fhiadhaich then followed deer tracks on the east side of the Allt Gleann Airigh Chomhaich until could work round to below Druim Mor. Went up from SW and along top. Descended NE to old road which was followed back the car - nice route.StueyB10/12/2023

#4 of 4 from Bridge of Grudie. Directish descent to pick up track just S of houseRHW15/05/2021
I climbed the Graham Beinn a'Chearcaill plus its associated minor bumps and tops. Good approach on stalkers' path, then tiresome walking on snowy heather - you never knew where the holes were - the stony top(s) with flat pavements were interesting. Good views on Torridon hills, Loch Maree, Slioch and the Fisherfield hills beyond.langskill07/05/2021
Along the Grudie path until a cairn directs an offshoot up to south of Coire Briste. A maze of rock and heather options eventually got us to Creag na Feol, then on to the weird stone-strewn plateau of Beinn a' Chearcaill. Steady rainfall made the trek over to A' Choineach Beag's two tops rather tricky and the ascent back to Loch Maree somewhat treacherous.summitter08/11/2020
From A 832, by the Glen Grudie and Coire Briste paths, leaving the latter to climb steeply around the crags onto the plateau and up to the summit. Descent by the north-east ridge to rejoin the Glen Grudie path. Solo. Fine view from summit.Man of Kernow109/08/2020
