Quick up and down from the Beinn Sgritheall car park in Arnisdale.PGCE28/05/2023
From designated lochside parking in Arnisdale,followed heavily water eroded path up to lochan in Bealach Arnasdail, then steep scree slope up to BS East top and along to main BS summit. Descent down W ridge and south through young birch wood to road.Low cloud, rain and snow on the very top all made for slow progress. With Gillian.richard6927/04/2023

Climbed Beinn Sgitheall solo from Arnisdale, including the East Top and NW Top. Ample parking in village. Lovely path up to Bealach Arnasdail. Bouldery climb to E top. Great though short ridge walk from there to the main summit, which is a stupendous viewpoint overlooking Loch Hourn, Skye and the hills of Knoydart and Kintail. After bagging the NW top, I traversed back to the West Ridge for the descent. The last bit through Coille Mhialairigh woods to the Arnisdale road is awkward as I lost the very faint path and ended up fighting through some steep and very overgrown hillside! Weather was fine - no wind, sunny earlier in the day, but clouding up later (mist settled on the summits, but after I left). Was plagued by midges at times. This was actually the 2nd time I've climbed the East Top - first was in sunny winter conditions in 2002 (February?)with friend Paul I recall (did not continue to the Munro itself that day due to deep snow and lack of equipment).jamessteel10017/08/2016

Solo. RBS HWC weekend at Ratagan, Kintail. Both the ascent from Arnisdale and the descent from the western end of the hill were alarmingly steep. A beautiful blue sky day with views out to the Outer Hebrides. I left my rucsack whilst I wandered out to bag the North-West Top and had some difficulty finding it again against the stones on the summit plateau.langskill24/05/2008

From the Arnisdale Road. I had had several days of bad weather and I decided to have a short up and down day. It, however, turned out to be a beautiful day. Stunning, the sort of day that makes you want to keep coming back.Alan Moore19/03/1980
