Only 33 years and a day since I last (and first) climbed this hill. Somehow climbing to this top was the way DOWN after RHW's SIMM completion on the west top, at a mere 824m.Minto28/06/2021

Did this one along with Sgorr Dhearg was tough climb up first one with a tough downhill from this one down through the woods was quite boggy in places on way down.supermario01/09/2020
Third and final 3000' summit of the day and 2nd Munro. Had hoped to continue west and complete Balacullish Horseshoe, but extra distance and more importantly heavy rain and poor visibility persuaded me to return over ground already covered back to beallach with Sgorr Dhearg and descend via route spotted earlier down Gleann a' Chaolaise.mntainman07/08/2020
A cracking day up Beinn a’ Bheithir today with David Hillis, a majestic mountain above Ballalchulish with two Munros and one Munro Top. Starting from the Co-op in Ballachulish, we made our way up the brutally steep shoulder of Sgorr Bhan (947m) a Munro Top, then west to Sgorr Dhearg (1024m) the day’s first Munro. There was a big drop then ascent to Sgorr Dhonuill (1001m) the second Munro, with the return via the Geann a’ Chaolais forest, which had been recently felled, 09:25hrs all in. It was dry all day and by the time we reached the Top it was sunny with a strong breeze. Stunning views from Sgorr Dhonuilll across Loch Linnhe to Lismore and Mull. Though a bit hazy, Ben More on Mull and the Cullin ridge on Skye were visible.chillyman812/07/2020
After Sgorr Dhearg and before, Sgorr a’Choise (Graham) and Meall Mor (Graham) with Malky C at Shills Xmas meet. Frozen underfoot all day, sunny, minus temps, no cloud. No snow. Rounsfell30/11/2019

Who would have thought a day in early November would be such a perfect mountain day. A wee dusting of icing sugar snow on the tops, the exposure on the last wee bit of ascent to the summit was not as bad as I had feared (after watching another couple using the outside route) I chose a different route up the middle. Only ravens & ptarmigen + 3 other humans for company. I chose a descent route down a gully with loose scree adopting a bum slide manoeuvre to get to the bottom (didnt fancy the backclimb/scramble on the exposed bit to the bealach & the recommended descent route). Picked up a path to the edge of a fence & a more defined path thru the trees to a forest road. Plain sailing from there to the car at BallachulishLizzieG07/11/2016
