Good parking NG 8241 5930. Easy walking on short grass/heather | carole engel | 10/09/2023 |
Small parking space at the bealach top. An up and down boggy, wet walk and climb in showers with CM. However, great views from the summit. Descended SE initially as it is easier. | bolton | 23/09/2022 |
From Bealach na Gaoithe. Sporadic thick mist and some rain. | vuirich | 14/06/2022 |
Usual CP. Great views. Solo | Play2End | 06/06/2022 |
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. | RobertP | 07/05/2022 |
Parked at the high point of the road about 500m past the view point at Bealach na Gaoithe. Followed the SMC Grahams and Donalds guide, in a fairly direct route, over Heather and nobbly ground past Loch nan Tri-eileanan, then to a small lochan at 834611, then up very steep slopes for about 75m of ascent to meet a gentler part of the ridge leading to the summit. To descend walked about 500m along the east spur tgen descended to near the river, followed the line of the river down to a shieling at 838602, then climb up slightly to Loch nan Trieileanan and then direct back to the car. 7km about 2hrs 40 walking time. | JulieB | 29/08/2020 |

From road summit. Descent an interesting navigational exercise in thick mist. | Galltywenallt | 17/07/2019 |
From Beinn Dearg, via Loch Toll nam Biast. Generally easy terrain, occasionally bouldery, currently very dry underfoot. Nice to see the far side of Beinn Alligin close up. Picked a line through the confusing geography towards Sithean Mor. Then quite a long but beautiful plod along the road back to the parking near Torridon House. | Owen B | 09/07/2018 |
Late in the day after drive from Fife. A rough walk in, then an easy climb. A nice sunny evening but clouds were down on higher Torridon summits. | Topographer57 | 22/05/2018 |
A great walk via the usual route from the summit of the Diabaig road. There is a trace of a path to guide you round the knolls and lochans, taking you almost to the base of the summit climb. Sunrise views over Loch Torridon were spectacular. | Gill | 20/12/2017 |
From small parking area at the top of Bealach Gaoithe. | Lionel Bidwell | 19/09/2017 |
Parked at 827586 and walked in a Northerly direction over gnarly but easy ground past the lochans and then straight up the hill to a rocky summit area. Stunning views of the whole Torridon range with crystal clear skies. Saw two sea eagles too. Can't remember such a good day. | Peterb | 10/02/2017 |
1 of 8: From Bealach na Gaoithe near Diabeg. | ChrisR | 20/09/2016 |
Pretty easy from the high point on the road. Quite cloudy all around today so some of the views obscured. But atmospheric. | jenx | 06/08/2016 |
From high point on Diabeg road. Direct line to top, nice views. | nordicstar | 06/08/2016 |

Parked in small space 800' up on narrow Diabaig road. Onto trackless deer hillside with wet swamp patches and 4 downs as well as ups, past a lochan with 3 islands before I could see a clear 3/4m line to foot of the conical peak. Into an area of red sandstone boulders with green moss/grass between and to top at 12.45. Very strong SW wind. | arranc | 11/07/2006 |

From summit of Torridon-Diabeg road (parking at viewpoint to south), 2hrs 30mins. Rough boggy ground with many knolls, then steep ascent of summit cone. Misty and very windy on the top, but the rain held offf till I was back. | douglas_easton | blank |
