Done as a circuit of Beinn Dearg Bheag via the north ridge from the Gruinard River, before traversing the ridge to Beinn Dearg Mhor via the bealach. Descent was down the south east coire after the south peak with a traverse straight to the back of Larachantivore. From there I took the bog path direct to Shenaval and up the path to where I could break off and up onto the spine of Sail Liath to get onto the An Teallach ridge. Lots of evidence of the previous Saturday's storm which sat over the mountain with voluminous thunder, lighting and heavy rain for several hours. A massive slide looks to have taken place in Corrag Bhuide with Loch Toll an Lochain looking very opaque from all the sediment still sitting in suspension. Pinnacles taken reasonably direct to Sgurr Fiona and then following a line across to Sgurr Creag an Eich and out to Sgurr Ruadh to descend the ridge that's always enticed me. I had intended to head up Sail Mhor as part of this but the fitness felt a little lacking and aEnnoch22/07/2023
A long dy. Up the east side of the Ardessie burn, waterfalls were impressive, the oath was not as it deteriorated higher up. On to summit of Sail Mhor where they were 14 or 15 wild goats - they would not stand still to be counted but were content to have me very close to them. I suspect they gather there to be fed or gather scraps. South along ridge to Sgurr Ruadh which I missed in the cloud and had to double back to. Then on to Sgurr Creag an Eich W top and then more easily across good ground to Meall Garbh and dropping west to pick up the extension of the Ardessie burn path - which seemed better going down!dickscroop26/07/2021
