With Gordon, Rhona and Struie. Following the recommended Walk Highland route for the 2 Arnisdale Corbetts anticlockwise, with an amendment for the descent. We think best to go over Ben Bhuidhe and head pretty much due south. It's possible to find your own way between any crags and though steep, is perfectly manageable, with mainly cushioning grass. | DampandDusty | 09/07/2023 |
Upfrom Corran. Up steeps zig zags then alng track to gain ridge at eastern end. Great views. Back down ridge then up steep slope to Graham. | cjo | 28/05/2023 |
With John from Corran at the end of the Arnisdale road. Took track past Glenfield Cottage and from there, did an anti-clockwise loop - taking in Beinn nan Caorach first, before dropping down to Bealach Dhruim nam Bo, and then the ascent up to Beinn na h-Eaglaise. Descent back down to Corran was steep and very wet which made for slow progress. Total time 4h 56min. | mproudfoot | 28/01/2023 |

I drove round to Arnisdale alone with little enthusiasm for a day in the wet; Jim and Mark drove up as I sat in the car watching the rain; so I 'joined' them on a clockwise circuit of these two corbetts (the SMC guide suggests anti-clockwise) as Mark and Jim wished to keep the option of adding a Graham at the end; it was a steep slog up the first corbett and i encouraged jim not to wait for me; i moved slightly better once they were out of sight; i found them close to the summit, they had a mist shrouded lunch stop and were about to move off or so they said; I kept up a bit better down to the low point and halfway up the next one, but then slowed right down; we had passed Steve corbett above the col - he was walking anticlockwise; at the top of the second corbett jim and mark were waiting again and said they were going to do the graham too; I said I would head down instead; I came off the side rather than the end of the ridge / spur and it was very steep and slow going; Steve had go | langskill | 29/08/2015 |
Beautiful autumn day with hazy views | oatcake | 14/09/2014 |
Done during a New Year week at Glenelg. Followed the River Arnisdale & then crossed the bridge to head N into Coire Chorsalain. Martin66 was after the Graham on the S side of the glen so he sped off ahead. The others didn't fancy that & I preferred the Corbett. So with J, MarkH & the Harts, set off up increasingly steep slopes to meet the SE ridge fairly high up rather than walk all the way up to the col at the end. I didn't think this was too bad but some of the choice comments coing from behind suggested that point of view was not necessarily shared! Baled off W into Coire Dhruim nam Bo then S due to lack of daylight to rejoin the outward route. A postscript to this is that Martin66 is convinced that he saw 6 figures walking along the glen from his point high on the Graham when there were only actually 5 of us. He thinks that was spooky. I think he needs an appointment at the optician. | NotReallyABagger | 30/12/2013 |

Previous day's blizzards covered everything with fresh snow. Very pretty. Used stalker's path from Corran. | Martin R | 19/01/2012 |
The two Corbetts first and then up onto Beinn Sgritheall. Did not descend directly to the bealach as the SMC Corbetts warns it is craggy. In fact, it probably would be fine. | AGWilliamson | 22/09/2011 |
Did Beinn Sgritheall and added this thoroughly enjoyable corbett to it. Sunny day. After this descended to Loch Hourn and went for a swim with the mad mutt. Company: Jake the Black Lab. | iandesbottes | 12/06/2011 |
