| Round of four corbetts from Glen Rosa campsite - along the glen then up to Beinn Nuis, along the ridge to Beinn Tarsuinn, bypassed A'Chir, skirting around Cir Mhor up to Casteal Abhail, then back along and up to the summit of Cir Mhor. We then headed back down the bealach between A'Chir and Cir Mhor and down the descent path into Glen Rosa, where we contoured around the base of the slabs under Cir Mhor to the Saddle, then up to North Goat Fell and along to Goat Fell before descending the tourist path, and finally back to the campsite to pack our kit. 11h total (avoiding all technical sections where possible in the interests of speed), and we just made the last ferry by the skin of our teeth! | mproudfoot | 16/07/2022 |

| I got the 7am ferry out of Ardrossan and parked in Glen Rosa for a 08:15am start, up to Beinn Nuis first then Beinn Tarsuinn (826m, a Corbett). I had planned on getting the neighbouring Corbett of Cir Mhor, but instead returned via Beinn a’ Chliabhain 07:50 hrs all in. First day of OMC meet at Lochranza Campsite. I managed to time reaching the summit of Beinn Tarsuinn perfectly, just as a cloud came in to block the panorama. | chillyman8 | 02/07/2021 |
| Walked to Glen Rosa from Brodick and then headed up Beinn Nuis and Beinn Tarsuinn. Quite hot and I was running out of water so decided to drop down via Beinn a'Chliabhain (didn't do the summit). The rock formations were amazing and it was a great walk but quite slow going. Excellent views in the afternoon. A great walk. | tsharp | 11/08/2020 |

| 2nd hill of 10 on an epic route from Brodick to Corrie via the A'Chir ridge and Casteal Abhail. I took the cart track to Glen Rosa and then footpath beside the Garb Allt before taking path upto Ben Nuiss and from there to this summit. I climbed up all potential summit candidates! Great rocky buttresses. I will definitely do this hill again. | Dazingdale | 13/05/2016 |

| 25th – Solo. From Brodick, follow track along Glenrosa Water, ascend Beinn Nuis, then follow the ridge for a clockwise circuit of the three Corbetts, walked out to Corrie for bus on A841. This is a very fine outing, and the equal of almost any ridge on the mainland – interesting scrambling between Beinn Tarsuinn and Cir Mhor to stay on the crest of the ridge and again in the descent of Cir Mhor. Cool, dry, overcast day, but cloud above summits. | RGibbs | 26/07/2015 |
| From Glen Rosa. Far too hot for a mammoth bagging session, so spent ages loafing around admiring the views (Ireland, Islay, Jura, the Highlands, you name it, I could see it!) | Gill | 21/06/2015 |
| With Tony Gordon, Andy Hardy. Sun & cold wind. From Glen Rosa - Beinn a'Chliabhain, nice scrambly ridge. Good views of A'Chir from Consolation Tor. Beinn Tarsuinn, optional scrambling to Beinn Nuis, descent to Glen Rosa. | zoob | 08/04/2015 |
