Stopping in a cottage in inverekie estate, walked 5km of estate road from the west then up the east end of ridge. Top 100 m steep crossing a rock band. 15 cm of snow with knee deep areas. Great snowy wintery views with sun. Cwas slow going uphill. Disturbed deer in lower woods.cjo24/02/2024
From the bridge over the Spean and along the track on the south side of Loch Laggan until WSW of Binnean Shios. A short trek through the open woodland until a fence reached. Snapped wire gives access onto the open hillside, where deer trods aid a steady ascent of the hill. A similar story back towards Binnein Shuas, which has a series of crags higher up that can be largely avoided by grassy gullies. The North Top is a fun scramble and the main summit a great place for views down Glen Spean. Returned SW then W to avoid the steepest crags. 5hrs total.summitter05/11/2023

From Binnein Shuas. Descended off the north end of the summit plateau at the 600m contour which involved one slightly awkward move. Looking back from below there looked to be a better grassy gully about 100 metres to the south east. After that plain sailing through long grass across the col and up to the attractive summit ridge. Back along the summit ridge, then descended towards Loch Laggan finding the gap in the old fence in the dip at the end of the much more robust deer fence. Easily through a woodland glade to the loch track and back to parking on the A86 near Luiblea.Owen B21/08/2023

From Binnein Shuas, NE then E down gully to col between two hills and then steady climb (over pleasantly dry ground) to summit. Weather significantly improved and wall to wall sunshine! Descent SW in a traverse to tree line. Followed deer fence to point where old and new fences meet and dropped down to track by Loch Laggan. Pleasant stroll back to car.MichaelF24/05/2023

From Binnein Shuas. Steep decent down an east facing gully to easy ground above Lochan an Earba and then an easy gradual accent to summit of Binnein Shios. From top descended to woodland above Loch Laggan. There is a broken section of fence at junction of deer fences at a boggy hollow which gives access to open woodland heading down to track along shoreline back to Moy.Jossker27/03/2023
Shios followed by Shuas in from Luibea. Good / challenging scrambling up from loch through bands of crags and pine forest remnants. Dry until deluge just after descent and 1h wait in rain for car.davechaffey18/03/2023
Biked in. Track more stony after junction NN 443822. Left bike NN 455809 to be picked up after descending Binnein Shaus. Along Lochan to crossing track between the lochs. Ground between Shios and Shaus tussocky grass. The gully up Shaus is nothing to fear - up or down. Very obvious, steep grassy climb starts at NN 4696 8295, topping out at NN 4660 8287carole engel08/08/2022
From Luiblea, straight line over both Grahams, then down through woods at tip of Shios to Lochan na Hearba track and back S. Overcast, Munros in cloud, better in evening. Sunburnt without sun. Rounsfell21/07/2022
From the good parking N of Gallovie Bridge approx. 556899. Easy track for biking, steady gradient out, good descent on return. Over bridge, climbs to the sawmill, then up through forestry along the side of the hill above Loch Laggan, continues (vs. map) to crossroads with the nicer track coming up from Ardverikie, left turn here up to Lochan na h-Earba, nicely repaired along the lochan. Neat single track hugs the SW shore to wooden bridge (left the bike), from where areas of easy short grass can be linked (otherwise rough stuff) to get up W of the trees onto the ridge where there is a vague path. Nice easy hill, fine views.Gill05/07/2022
From A86 parking (NN433830), cycled along tracks to bridge between Lochans na h-Earba (NN488841), then SW to col at NN478837, and zigzag up the NE ridge of Binnein Shuas, and worked through all the knolls to the summit, returned to col, then NE up SW ridge of Binnein Shios and worked through its knolls to the summit, returned SW, then straight down to the bridge, via a pinewood, cycled back to parking (4h20m from bridge [6h15m from A86]kdbennett02/06/2022
