Done as a circuit of Beinn Dearg Bheag via the north ridge from the Gruinard River, before traversing the ridge to Beinn Dearg Mhor via the bealach. Descent was down the south east coire after the south peak with a traverse straight to the back of Larachantivore. From there I took the bog path direct to Shenaval and up the path to where I could break off and up onto the spine of Sail Liath to get onto the An Teallach ridge. Lots of evidence of the previous Saturday's storm which sat over the mountain with voluminous thunder, lighting and heavy rain for several hours. A massive slide looks to have taken place in Corrag Bhuide with Loch Toll an Lochain looking very opaque from all the sediment still sitting in suspension. Pinnacles taken reasonably direct to Sgurr Fiona and then following a line across to Sgurr Creag an Eich and out to Sgurr Ruadh to descend the ridge that's always enticed me. I had intended to head up Sail Mhor as part of this but the fitness felt a little lacking and aEnnoch22/07/2023
With John - full clockwise traverse from Corrie Hallie around to Sail Liath, over the pinnacles (we did not take the buttress head on), the two munro summits and all 7 munro tops, coming off the incredibly steep side of Ghlas Meall Mor back to Corrie Hallie. Big day - sunny above 600m with cloud inversion in all directions for the whole traverse, with the walk in/out under the cloud. 10.5hrs in total.mproudfoot28/08/2021
Both Munros and round of 3 tops from Dundonnell not already done on the more usual circuit.benalder28426/07/2021
Followed a good little path beside Allt Glas Thuill. On to west ridge of Glas Meall Liath. A lot of quartzite, but fairly straightforward. Then along interesting pinnacled ridge to Bidean a Glas Thuill. Sgurr Creag an Eich, Sgurr Fiona, Lord Berkeleys Seat, Coarrag Bhuidhe and the Buttress, and Stob Cadha Gobhlach, and Sail Liath. Descent to Lochan na Brathen, and back out on path to Corriehallie. With B and R.jenx15/07/2021

An Teallach traverse from Corrie Hallie, with detours to the Munro Topsdavidpettit8430/05/2013
Having done the clockwise south to north route in may 2004 this route was catalysed to pick up the other tops by doing an east west traverse cutting across all the lower plains from the north eventually round to the SE side of Glas Meall Liath, quite a heavy steep slog up to this summit and then up towards BaGT including the two eastern pinnacles, BaGT, then solo out to this top to complete my AnTeallach collection, before heading up to Sgurr Fiona for a second visit. On glorious day with Sara Hargreaves. The best day of my two weeks away.vegibagger30/08/2012
With Rhona Fraser and Robin Howie. From road crossing of burn from Loch Toll an Lochan. Up path on SW side of burn. Ascended SE ridge of Sàil Liath to the summit. Continued to Stob Cadha Gobhlach and descended to col to north. Should have climbed straight up but were tempted by paths on the left side of Corrag Bhuidhe. Went up a branch path and attempted to climb directly upwards but it was rather difficult so we retreated. Tried further round and climbed to the summits of three pinnacles, the last one being Corrag Bhuidhe. Climbed Lord Berkley’s Seat and Sgùrr Fiona. Finally to Sgùrr Creag an Eich. This was my last Munro top of a second round of Munro Tops that had been done pure ie not counting those that had been ascended more than once prior to my completion of my first round. Celebratory dinner at the Dundonell Hotel.pwbellarby20/06/2012

With Rhona Fraser. From Dundonnell up path and then following burn and ascending west of crags to reach Glas Mheal Mor, Bidein a’ Ghlas Thuill. We went along many minor tops to Ghas Mheall Liath. We went back to Bidein a’ Ghlas Thuill. I raced out to Sgurr Creag an Eich (omitted by Rhona) and then Sgurr Fiona. We reached Lord Berkeley’s Seat, the pinnacle next to it, and Corrag Buidhe. There was some fun on the descent here! We went on to Cadha Gobhlach and Sail Liath. We missed out Corrag Buidhe Buttress by mistake. We descended via the Shenavall track. It was warm and sunny all day with clouds high. There were good views in all directions.pwbellarby16/07/1983
