From Glen Coe, standard route to reach ridge of Buachaille Etive Beag, on to Stob Dubh N Top (also visiting nearby knoll to be sure) and camping nearby. Descent back to glen and crossed to climb the end of the Beinn Fhada ridge (following a slight shelf under the crags before climbing up to the ridge). On to Beinn Fhada far E top, NE top and Beinn Fhada itself. Return by same route. Some steep terrain, excellent views all round.RobertP15/10/2023

Today myself and Alma Aurea decided to have an easier munro day after a long day on the mountains yesterday, but we wanted to continue to enjoy the great weather so opted for a scenic walk on Buachaille Etive Beag. A very pleasant walk to the two munros, completed with no problems.meltdiceburg01/06/2023

A nice half-day walk from the car park in Glen Coe. We went up Lairig Eilde and then onto Etive Beag. We sent first for Stob Dubh and then back across to Stob Coire Raineach.Ginger Dave19/04/2014
Buachaille Etive Mor & Buachaille Etive Beag. Good walk and very good weather. No real tricky bits but cracking views. Found an obvious grassy ascent to link in the Etive Beag range. To top the day a couple of RAF Hawks flew very low through the valley as I was descending - pretty much at eye level - awesome!scholesy05/10/2012
second ascent, 3 in party, very windy on the tops, with snow and spindrift. climbed the first munro quickly from the car park on the new path to the col. returned to the col and continued out over a minor top before reaching the second munro, clear views but gust were strong enough to knock you over return same way, taking a more direct descent from the minor top.rum doodle 24/02/2012

Warm sunny day. Latish start - left car at 12 noon. I was suffering from a cold/chest infection, probably caught from Cathal. We lost the trodden way up to the col and made heavy weather of the ascent. But slow and steady got there (7 hours away from car, ie very slow should have been about 5.5 - 6 hours). Descent was better than expected. bar meal and drinks at Bridge of Orchy on way home.langskill03/07/2011
North - South traverse of the ridge from Glen Coe to Glen Etive. Accompanied by iain Page and Sarah Chalmers. Lovely sunny day with hazy views north to Ben Nevis.andy22/04/2011
