From Roughburn up the SW ridge, playing hide-and-seek with the path most of the way, and over the three summits of Beinn a'Chaorainn. All three are magnificently situated, but the North Top feels most remote and lies on an elegant ridgeline. | Nick Down1 | 31/08/2022 |
Beinn Teallach and Beinn a' Chaorainn from Roughburn. Walked up soggy valley to Teallach first as it was clear on the summit at the start but it clouded in before I got there and went very low for the rest of the walk. Strong winds and later rain made it a rather tedious walk by enlarge. Solo. | meltdiceburg | 07/08/2022 |

Early start from Laggan dam after a night in the car. Climbed Beinn a Chaorainn first. It was mostly dry with a few spots of rain but the clouds were above the tops. I climbed the South top then headed over the middle and north tops. Walking was great there was a snow patch close to the south top. As I descended to the bealach I saw a Ptarmigan and Golden Plover. Luckily with all the dry weather it wasn’t to boggy at the bealach with Beinn Teallach. The latter was a bit rockier and there was a bit of a path. I visited both cairns and headed down easy grassy slopes back to the Allt a Chaorainn and the outward route. Did also see Ring Ouzel and Ravens. No other walkers seen. Time taken 4 hours 50 minutes for 11.25 miles. | isabelle | 08/06/2022 |
