Descended slowly from the north top, over moss covered, sometimes loose stones, towards the little lochan, passing it widely on the W side, then more easily to the summit. Great views of nearby cliffs. On to Carn Dearg. | LizH | 20/03/2024 |

Solo. Russel Burn Br to Beinn Bhan, Sgurr a'Ghaorachain spots 776m & 792m with return down SE buttress from (800415). Overcast with intermittent hill fog. | Vin | 27/05/2001 |
With two friends. We parked beside the bridge where the Applecross road crosses the Russel Burn. We walked NE to join the ridge coming down from Beinn Bhàn. We ascended this ridge easily, going over a couple of minor tops with impressive views of A’ Chioch. We reached the summit of Beinn Bhàn where we had lunch. We went SW over a minor top and found a stalkers’ path going down to Bealach nan Arr. We followed the path which continued beyond the bealach under Carn Dearg. We left the path to go S to reach point 776m, and over two minor tops to reach the summit of Sgùrr a’ Chaorachain. We descended the steep slopes to the SE. They were easier than expected with small rocky steps, where difficulties could be easily got round. The weather held good all day in spite of the forecast not being all that promising. | pwbellarby | 08/11/1997 |
