From Brae Roy on a glorious autumn day with Anne B. An ATV track, sometimes intermittent leads well onto the ridge. Great views! Anne B returned to Brae Roy as I headed to Leana Mhor.bolton31/10/2023

Solo from the Glen Roy road - parked further in from the passing place just up from the bridge at NN300880, followed faint and disappearing paths all around - firstly up Leana Mhor, keeping to the shoulder on the left of Coire ant-Seilich, up to pt 596, then nnw to the summit of the graham. Descended directly to the bealach at around 515m, before ascending up an atv track onto the shoulder of Beinn Iaruinn. Followed the rim of the coire around to the summit. Descended back down to the bealach and from there, the track back down to the bridge and the car. Light snow falling but no real snow underfoot. Total time: 2h 58minmproudfoot03/03/2023
Parked at NN315895, steeply straight up hill side, crossing three 'Parallel Roads', to col, around Coirre nan Eun to summit. Descent to SW and down Alt a Bhreac Aichaide to sheep pens in Glen Roy. With JD, DH, DB and Hillary Jones.John Lee23/02/2023

see log for Leana Mhor. From col, atv continues up east side fence - feint in parts but does go all the way to the Corbett - lovely.carole engel04/07/2022
From bridge by barn in Glen Roy, round south side of field, north bank of burn, up gap in heather to highest parallel road, followed this into valley and continued up and left on sheep paths to eventually find atv track to bealach. Steeply north on easy ground to plateau and on to summit. Back over Leana Mhor and returned same way. At track may have been better, but looks boggier.Flatfield26/05/2022

Solo fr car at NN300879 2:30pm, steeply WSW/W up warm heather, then N across Leana Mhor, down easily to col and up NE to Beinn Iaruinn. Overcast, cold wind on top, exposed, didn't hang around! Bits of views though. Returned SW to col and found a bit of a path/sheep-run ESE back to car. Very dry underfoot, as it has been all week. Threatened rain today but just about stayed dry.NorfolkPT2103/06/2021

After Leana Mhor. Descended steeply east above Coire nan Eun to valley.davidpettit8404/06/2017
A great walk from Glen Gloy, along and above the Fintaig Water. This walk is exactly as shown on the map. There’s a short track to start you off, and then it’s just you and the hill. Absolutely no paths, no ATV tracks, no hydro schemes, no wind turbines. Corbett-bagging as it used to be. Wild, woolly and very beautiful. Poor weather, with heavy rain, wind and snow (cold enough for the Buffalo mitts), but the reward was a stunning view from the summit, including a rainbow framing the view north, and sun bursting through the clouds smoking off the coire headwall. Fabulous.Gill12/04/2017
