With DH from railway crossing at NM 856812. Beinn Odhar Mhor, Beinn Odhar Bhearg, Beinn Mhic Cedidh circuit. Very wet ascent, heavy rain all day. Continued round to bridge over Allt a' Choire Bhuide following ATV track to tunnel under railway. More ATV track to ford over river. Busy road back to car parking.John Lee30/06/2023
A full clockwise round of the Corbetts and Corbett tops from tent at bridge over Alt a Choire Bhuidhe - nice spot. Bheinn Odhar Mhor; Beinn Odhar Bheag; Beinn a Chaorainn and across to Beinn Mhic Cedidh. Dropped into valley for most of return, sticking to ridge would have been better. Had planned a second day doing tops further west, hence tent, but felt I had done enough in the heat.dickscroop03/06/2023
Anticlockwise loop of Beinn Odhar Bheag and Beinn Mhic Cedidh from the Road to The Isles. With Ian. Total time 5h 35min. Low cloud, with some light rain during the descent.mproudfoot24/09/2022
From an A830 lay-by, and on surely the hottest day of the year in Scotland, we bagged Sgurr na Paite, Beinn Mhic Cedidh, Beinn a' Chaorainn, Beinn Odhar Bheag and Beinn Odhar Mhor. Outliers were also considered, but a mix of heat, reducing water supply and dicky tummy meant we were happy to return with this haul.summitter04/06/2022
Beinn Odhar Mhor, Beinn Odhar Bhearg, Beinn Mhic Cedidh circuit from railway crossing at NM 856812 (straight across and up - bridge described in SMC Corbetts book no longer exists). Straight forward ascent with (solitary) celebration of completing the Big 50. Continued round to bridge over Allt a' Choire Bhuide and following ATV track to bridge under railway. Continued on S side of Allt Lon a' Mhuidhe (failing to pick up exit reaching road at NM 849617). Following faint paths in the pasture, the road was visible ahead on the skyline, but the thickness of the summer vegetation encouraged an escape to the road (at NM 855816), through the woods. The road has a decent verge from the ATV exit to this narrow twisting section leading to the parking.henryfm02/08/2021

From a parking space just east of the railway tunnels, via Beinn Odhar Mhor. Below the mountain's steep east face the full length of Loch Shiel was visible. On to Beinn Mhic Cedidh. A hot day, midges even on summit but surprisingly not aggressive.Topographer5719/07/2013

Solo. From Loch Eilt, my log says (not sure if crossed the stepping stones 200m upriver which used to be accessible before the small dam was built at the W end of the loch - when was the dam built? - or the bridge up at NM856814 which is now, 21h, recommended). Anyway, cold with thick hoar frost, and great views as far as Rùm and Skye.NorfolkPT2117/12/1995
Solo. From Lochailort Railway Station, having taken train from Glenfinnan. Finished at Glenfinnan at 1:50am. Traverse of five Corbetts and sundry tops. From summit of Beinn Mhic Cèdidh went down E ridge and up NE ridge of Beinn Odhar Bheag to arrive at 20:25. Due to the lateness of the hour and the unknown complex territory ahead over Beinn Odhar Mhòr I decided to descend to Bealach Choire Bhuidhe and beside Allt a’ Choire Bhuidhe. The day was dry mostly, but drizzle towards the end. There was much cloud and mist. There were a few clear views, including Eigg near the start. The final descent was very wet underfoot. It was moderately cold.pwbellarby10/04/1995
