Bagged this top after the Graham An Ruadh-mheallanAndrew Simmons24/03/2024
Climbed after Shieldaig and its tops. Parked at the Bealach na Gaoithe which was living up to its name today - far less windy once on the open hill. Bit of a convoluted route weaving between and over all the wee hillocks before the more straightforward ground south of An Ruadh-mheallan which we bypassed. Down rather more directly taking in Cnoc a'Choire Bhig en route. Rather dwarfed by the neighbouring hills but nice views especially south over Loch Torridon.StueyB06/12/2023

Round of An Ruadh-mheallan and nearby tops from high point on road to W in spectacular sunny weather. Climbed NW to An Ruadh-mheallan, then Meall na h-Odhar-aghaidh. Continued to Beinn Bhreac East Top and Beinn Bhreac, with excellent views of Baosbheinn and out to coast. Returned along ridge and the to Creag a' Chinn Duibh. Descended S for about 500m and camped in spectacular location with Na Rathanan (Horns of Alligin) dominating the view. Returned SW to start.RobertP07/05/2022
