Good parking on track NM 9272 5968. Easy grassy slopes to Beinn Mhic Eacharna. On to Beinn Bheag, Sgurr nan Cnamh, Druim Min, Garbh Bheinn - direct ascent of NW face impossible for me. Had to drop down from craggy obstacle to contour round (with difficulty) to grassy rake at NM 8965 6219, after which no problems. Over Sron a'Ghairbh Choire Mhor to path down SE ridge - very hard going (rough, stony) but helped with navigating over rocky buffscarole engel14/08/2023

Very hot, truncated day. With L, P, Gnix_snilloc13/08/2022
From parking by A861. Along glen path for 2.9km then struck up hill diagonally, across Bealach Nan Aingidh stream, then on in a fairly straight line to Beinn Bheag summit. Then down to bealach, roughly following old wall and line of rusted fence posts, and up to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna. Headed SE a short distance along ridge then diagonally down towards glen and footpath back to A861.willyross28/07/2022

With: hb; Parked by bridge on A861 then walked up Coire an Iubhair, to ascend the grass to bealach W of Sgorr Mhic Eacharna then the easy ridge to summit. Descended W back to bealach then up Beinn Bheag and over W Top to descend a steep grass gully to Lochan Coire an Iubhair. Descend back down whole length of Coire an Iubhair.Ian Baines26/05/2021
Sgurr Mhic Eacharna then Bheinn Bheag. From P by A861 - descent from Bealach nan Aingidh (not brilliant), then boggy path. A fine pair of Grahams. With Bolton.ger20/10/2019
Steep climb onto the Druim an Lubhair from the old road at the bridge with Ger. Great views on a proper autumn day. West to Beinn Bheag.bolton20/10/2019

Parked on bit of old road at the foot of the glen (NM 97848 62920). Visited Sgorr Mhic Eacharna and Beinn Bheag in miserable weather, so decided to leave Garbh Bheinn for another day.

Took bus Strontian to Sallachan 978627 (9:55). Walked up road & path up glen, then struck up NE ridge to trig point and then summit of B Leamhain (11:15). Down NW ridge for abt 1 km till crags eased then down to tussocky col (12:00). Overcast but dry. Long ascent to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna (13:10), then via deep col to Beinn Bheag (14:10). Fine undulating rocky ridge with great views of Garbh Bheinn. Finally down to col en route to Sg nan Cnamh; long slabby then rocky ridge led to summit (15:50). Continued ENE, following the long watercourse down to Ceann a Chreagain (ruin). Weather had been overcast but dry; drizzle began on descent. River low so fordable but rocks v slippery. Walked through woods back to Ariundle car park (18:10) and cycled back to car at Strontian.dbb15/06/2015

Did the wonderful round of Coire an Iubhair, over the Grahams to the E first. Followed the path up the glen for a short way & then forced a way up on to Druim an Iubhair. This was tedious but worth it once we were up. Followed the broad ridge along to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna (Graham #50) & then round the increasingly rough ground to Beinn Bheag. From here, continued along to the minor tops at 692m & 682m & then dropped straight down to the bealach. Ascended a wet gully which looked easier from the bottom than it actually was: steep, slippery & loose at its narrowest point but then easier after that. Wound our way round the rough stuff to the summit & a terrific view before following the long SE ridge down to the starting point. This round didn't do my knees much good but it was worth it!NotReallyABagger10/09/2014

Parked at mouth of Coire an-Iubhair. Track for 400m, followed electric fence steeply uphill to bear right over rough tussock. Clambering up through boulder outcrops and on roof angle stuff to the wide grass ridge, bear left to a continuing increase in height, a long mile onto more stony ground and to top at 11.00.
