Accessed form the A86 at Luiblea. I cycled up to Lochan na h-Earba, then up the stalkers path to Geal Charn (1049m), then across to Creag Pitridh (924m), the descent from which was very boggy. It was clear blue skies all day, 6 hours all in. This Munro, takes me to a total of 108 out of 282 (38%), 58 of which were bagged in 2019 alone.chillyman831/12/2019

Fine Munro round with Peter on a perfect still September day.nix_snilloc07/09/2019
From lay-by on A86 west of Loch Laggan (NN 43299 83044). South across River Spean bridge then followed excellent Land-Rover track as far as Lochan na h-Earba then good path up to Bealach Leamhain. North on good but wet path before striking NE on intermittent grassy/stony path to the summit of Geal Charn. Down to boggy col between this and Creag Pitridh before clear, easy path to the summit. Southwest on intermittent grassy/boggy path to re-join the outward route back to the start.david23020122/08/2019
Circuit of Beinn a'Chlachair, its East Top, Geal Charn, Sron Garbh and Creag Pitridh from Moy Bridge . Outstanding views in all directions. Got so absorbed in watching two roe deer at quite close quarters that I fell into a hole between tussocks on the descent from Pitridh. Then, while resting on the sandy beach of Lochan na h-Earba, the wind switched direction and sand-blasted me with stinging quartzite granules...Nick Down123/06/2019
