Pleasant walk from Aodann Chleireig. Descended directly to the forest. Climbed the deer fence. Walked through about 30m of young trees and then joined an unmapped track which joins the main forest road back to Fassfern. Solo.Dangerous Dave01/12/2023

From Fassfern via Aodann Chleireig.sclater08/11/2019
From a layby at NN006785 on the A830. With a friend. Walked up a forest track northwards and then NW. The end of the track is not far from the edge of the forest; we found a way through. There is a high fence round the edge of the forest which has to be climbed over. Climbed steeply ENE to reach easier slopes of Aodann Chlèireig. From Aodann Chlèireig continued to Beinn an t-Sneachda. Went S to point 625m where there is a cairn. OS has the name Beinn an t-Sneachda at this point on their 1:25,000 map. This is clearly lower than the summit. We descended SE. Very windy.pwbellarby02/03/2017
From Aodan chleiridh and then straight down eastward towards glen. Into forest where track curves round hill and back to Fassfern.Campbell Singer05/05/2016
Dreadful forecast of gales and driving rain. Parked Fassfern, walked yellow pole road to end then ascended clearcut forest onto shoulder of Aodann Chleirig then followed metal posts to top and onto Beinn an t-Sneachda shoulder. Soaked through and chilled. Viz lowering and wind increasing. Followed posts off Aodann to road.alexmaclennan11/03/2015

After the main top, out onto the spur before returning and descending direct to Fassfern. At 470 m on the ridge a track exits re felled trees and can be easily followed to main road.nordicstar25/08/2014
