From Incheril, up past waterfall to Bonaid Dhonn, then up WSW ridge.davidpettit8415/10/2023
From the car park at Incheril with D.Dave and CM. A very pleasant walk NW for a couple of miles. A very faint path leads steeply on the south side of the waterfall before emerging onto a less steep area and then steadily to the summit. Great views from this top. Did a steady walk SE to descend to 050624. 7 miles and a slow 6.5 hours in glorious conditions.bolton04/09/2023

With Chris & Phil. Enjoyable alpine path up by the waterfall. Fabulous views from the summit.Dangerous Dave04/09/2023
From Incheril, biked to bridge in Glen na Muice. Walked up steep slope from the bridge and due east to the summit. Stay on ridges, better terrain if a bit up and down. Lots of wild goats.iangalbraith22/07/2022
From Incheril along Slicg path then up just to east of waterfall. Very steep but no particular problems from top just a question of heading towards the summit if you are lucky like me and it was visible. Might be a problem inn cloud. Didn't fancy the way u s a descent route so headed east to pick up the very good Heights of Kinlochewe track.dickscroop02/05/2022
From Incheril but, rather than fannying about with guidebook routes, I took the Heights of Kinlochewe track and, a few yards after the gate, went off piste over the stream, then straight up to the plateau on short, dry easy grass studded with wild flowers. Wandered up easy dry bogs at first, then contoured around the Allt Chnaimhean coire, then up to the highest source lochan at ca.400m dodging many lumps and bumps (all roughly NNE from top of grassy ascent route), then direct line NW to the top. Back the same way, needs a bearing to find the correct easy descent even in clear weather.Gill28/04/2022
Up from Incheril via Bac an t-Sniomha to Meallan Ghobhar.JimT29/09/2021
from Incheril on Slioch path for 2km, then up to shelf above the waterfall, up the valley to the big wide corrie and up to top from there. Saw feral goats and an eagle on last stretch. Returned by SMC return route.IanHHill08/09/2021
Continued to Meallan Ghobhar.duchally29/08/2021
From Incheril, NW along track beside river to Allt Chnaimhean, ascended slopes on N side, through bracken initially, intermittent tracks higher up, then headed N across plateau, between lakes at ca NH032647, followed gully N up lower slopes, then headed more NE, then NW to Cairn and on to summit, descended initially W (fine views along Loch Maree), then S into Coire Each, then down Bac an t-Sniomha (v steep), S of the waterfall, back to the path by the river and return to Incherilkdbennett27/08/2021

Long route from Incheril with two overnight camps. Meallan Ghobhar, Beinn a' Mhuinidh, Carn Cadh' a' Ghobhainn (all 3 tops), Sithean Biorach, Meallan Odhar, descent to Gleann na Muice. Tracks to Leckie then ascent of Beinn nan Ramh, An Carnan [Beinn nan Ramh West Top]RobertP26/05/2021

From Incheril, up steep slopes on N side of Allt Chnaimhean avoidng the bracken where possible. Then over rough ground, skirting Meallan Gobhar to summit slopes. Returned the same way. A cracking 360 degree panaroma from the summit (even Fionn Bheinn looked striking!).benalder28406/09/2020
Time includes c1hr breaks and returning for water bottle left on top. From Incheril, hot and sunny, shower after I returned to van. Up crags near Incheril, down more-travelled route further W. Rounsfell18/08/2020
Rivers/streams in spate. Approached from south NH 0406 6235. Good deer trod helps with initial climb from NH 04141 62477. Unable to cross Allt Chnaimhean until lochan at NH 0459 6502 - good pinch point between rock - very easy stride.carole engel05/09/2019
From Incheril, tried to cycle up Slioch path but gave up and walked after first km. Up via a steep narrow gully on SE side of waterfall, where I used and recommend katoohlas. Back over Ghobhar and NW side of Chnaimhean. Crossed paths with two small herds of feral goats.Topographer5717/05/2019
Heathergarbo110328/10/2018
From Incheril and then up alongside the waterfall. Very steep. Seemed even steeper on descent. Sadly no views of Slioch today. Driving mist. 4.5 hours up and down.Campbell Singer08/05/2018
From Incheril with Steves Smith & Lewis. Meallan Ghobhar first.jonglew16/02/2018

From IncherilNormanW20/04/2017
From Incheril to the waterfall then up over steep rough ground before continuing over easy gnarly rocks and grass to the summit. Amazing views of Slioch from just beyond the summit. Returned via Meallan Gobhar.Peterb14/02/2017
Incheril cp. very midgy! Along the Slioch path and steeply up the burn line to falls. Hard at first but improves. Above fall steep through reasonable ground to good viewpoint. Line back to Alt Chnaimhean which gives a complex but good descent. Deer tracks lead almost to cemetery.nordicstar18/08/2016
Impressive route up by the falls then any easy walk back across plateau and a deer path down to CP.jenx18/08/2016
Followed fence line from Incheril car park. Up S side of waterfall cos less crags that side - steep. Lots of feral goats. Through six foot + bracken on way back.rogreeves06/07/2016
Feral goats seen SE of summit.h3cla28/05/2016
From Incheril car park with 1056Jim.Fothergill19/04/2016
From the track leading to the Heights of Kinlochewe. There is a rough track leaving the main track at NH 06436 63170 which is somewhat circuitous but is of help when trying to get down in the almost dark as I did. Should have started earlier.nicolajane13/12/2015
From Incheril. Apparently the name means Mountain of Pissing. Probably because of the waterfall that you pass on the way up.ngthack05/07/2015
From Incheril. Got involved in a bit of scrambling and hoped would not have to reverse any oc my steps. Grand views all the way, despite (or maybe because of) frequent showers.Martin R19/05/2015
With D Roeder. From Incheril ()10:00) NW along track & steeply up gully just S of waterfall. Then N up ramp to end of SW ridge and so to top. Heavy showers around but some good views. SSE across plateau till river crossed & steeply down to path. Car 15:00dbb17/05/2015

During a May week in Badachro on a sunny & warm day with J, Martin66, JC & the Harts starting at Incheril. Followed the track towards the Kinlochewe River & just before reaching it, climbed up alongside the first major sidestream. On reaching flatter ground, headed across to Meallan Ghobhar & then skirted the two lochs to the W over roughish ground to the summit of Binn a'Mhuinidh. Grand views of Torridon & Slioch. Back by the same route.NotReallyABagger09/05/2013

Parked at Incheril. 1/2 mile on track before striking directly up to a gap in crags on visible horizon. Long tramp over lush wet deer grass for 1/2 mile and struck a route to hills on horizon 1 1/2 miles away. Onto firmer grass slopes through boulders over large summit area to top at 13.45. Large lichen covered stones made up a substantial 4' cairn.arranc12/07/2006
