Parked in layby S of Achnashellach station. Good path to the foot of the BLM ridge. Thereafter steep ascent on eroded path to reach BLM Far E top. Lovely ridge walk along to BLM E top and the main top, descending on cairned path to bealach, including some minor scrambling. Good path to Sgorr Ruadh, then free format descent down to the lochans to the SE and the path back to Achnashellach. Another long but enjoyable day with excellent views all round.

From Beinn Liath Mhor East Top, again an easy stroll down then up rocky path to summit. Not true for the descent however. Cairns point the way off rocky summit crown to path marked on map at NG9850 5123. From here a tortuous descent on tired legs down a rugged path to Drochaid Coire Lair from where the descent is more gentle rejoining ascent rout al the way back to Achnashellach Stationmntainman04/09/2021

On descent of Beinn Liath Mhor back to Achnashellach. First part of descent on horrible boulders for running, then very good fun below that.quadbarrel29/04/2021
Another late one, left summit at 10:30pm. Pretty good path down steep ridge to the River Lair and enough light to walk through the trees at midnight.alda21/06/2019

Solo fr Achnashellach after driving up overnight in new Smart car; solid blue sky, clear tops, enough snow to decorate the hills! Frozen underfoot but not treacherous on B L Mhor. Astonishing view of Liathach! Running in microspikes, delightful.NorfolkPT2114/02/2017
With DW and SL. Intending to do the Munro pair, but strong winds (some of the strongest we'd walked in, despite not being forecast) prevented us doing Sgorr Ruadh. Descended back to Achnashellach through Coire Lair.AGWilliamson29/12/2016

Round of Beinn Liath Mhor & Sgorr Ruadh with Shaky on a clear but overcast & relatively calm day. This was in contrast to previous attempt with Martin66 & Shaky at New Year 98/99 when all three of us were lifted off our feet on the lower slopes of Beinn Liath Mhor! Route as per SMC guidebook using path from col between Sgorr Ruadh & Fuar Tholl to return to the glen.NotReallyABagger29/05/2001
