Gentle bumble from Shenavall with Tony W. Nice views. Not much snow.HardenC07/03/2024

Done as a circuit of Beinn Dearg Bheag via the north ridge from the Gruinard River, before traversing the ridge to Beinn Dearg Mhor via the bealach. Descent was down the south east coire after the south peak with a traverse straight to the back of Larachantivore. From there I took the bog path direct to Shenaval and up the path to where I could break off and up onto the spine of Sail Liath to get onto the An Teallach ridge. Lots of evidence of the previous Saturday's storm which sat over the mountain with voluminous thunder, lighting and heavy rain for several hours. A massive slide looks to have taken place in Corrag Bhuide with Loch Toll an Lochain looking very opaque from all the sediment still sitting in suspension. Pinnacles taken reasonably direct to Sgurr Fiona and then following a line across to Sgurr Creag an Eich and out to Sgurr Ruadh to descend the ridge that's always enticed me. I had intended to head up Sail Mhor as part of this but the fitness felt a little lacking and aEnnoch22/07/2023

Followed a good little path beside Allt Glas Thuill. On to west ridge of Glas Meall Liath. A lot of quartzite, but fairly straightforward. Then along interesting pinnacled ridge to Bidean a Glas Thuill. Sgurr Creag an Eich, Sgurr Fiona, Lord Berkeleys Seat, Coarrag Bhuidhe and the Buttress, and Stob Cadha Gobhlach, and Sail Liath. Descent to Lochan na Brathen, and back out on path to Corriehallie. With B and R.jenx15/07/2021

Easy to get up and down but the path goes along the base so I almost certainly bypassed this before, as most people would.alda01/09/2017

A long day out on An-Teallach with new Dutch Friends Jacob and Michelle Hoogeveen. An epic day with mini avalanches on the traverse under the Pinnacles.( which were too dangerous to go over).Shutterlag28/04/2017
With Andy Ward, from Shenavall bothy, ending at Dundonnell. Cloudy weather (no views above 900m and dropping throughout day) with intermittent rain, continuous rain during final descent. Hitched back to parked car.trainingforwinter29/03/2017

With Frances and Lillian M. RBS HWC weekend at Ullapool; beautiful blue sky day. Steady pace all day. (I) bottled out of going on along the difficult part of the An Teallach ridge. We had earlier in the day decided to look at the east to west classical route rather than the Dundonnell ascent which can take you to both Munros whilst avoiding the difficulties.langskill25/05/2013
