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.

Maol Chean-dearg, Beinn Liath Mhor, Sgorr Ruadh from Coulags. | Geoff Briggs | 12/07/2022 |
with Elizabeth. Steeply up scree following Butterfield's route, never again. | Cumbrianexile | 14/04/2022 |
Physical scramble (for me, left me out of breath at the top) from col to start of rocky ascent to summit. Then just followed zig-zagging path over boulders and rocks all the way to the summit. Fantastic views to the north showcasing Liathach, Beinn Alligan and Beinn Eighe. Descent route via ridge and over the two Corbetg Tops. I had intended to return by the ascent route and back down Coire Lair, but to be honest it's just as easy and quick to walk along ridge and bag a couple of extra summits. Steep descent at the other end off Far East Top, but not as steep as down scramble to col with South Top. | mntainman | 04/09/2021 |
With Luna | BigNick | 22/06/2021 |
With John on a circuit of Beinn Liath Mhor, Sgorr Ruadh and Fuar Tholl from Achashellach.

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. | NorfolkPT21 | 14/02/2017 |

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. | AGWilliamson | 29/12/2016 |
