3 of 5: From Ben Loyal and again on our return from Sgor a Chleirich. With Sam and Tim.ChrisR23/09/2023
By the usual route from the north, parked at Ribigil. Bogs not too bad compared to some descriptions, and wended our own steep way up from the Bealach Clas Nan Ceap. Found a bit of the undercarriage of the wrecked WW2 plane being reclaimed by bog high up. Views great to the west and nor5, but dull and flat to the east. Returned by outwards route, 15.5km 4h30Rockdoctor21/05/2023
Parked at Ribigill for a 7h30 circuit of the Ben Loyal tops: Creag Riabhach, Sgor Chaonasaid, Ben Loyal, Beinn Bheag, Carn an Tionail, Sgor a' Chleirich, Sgor Fhionnaich.PGCE05/05/2021

Standard route from Ribigill and along the ridge as far as Beinn Bheagdavidpettit8420/08/2020
Woke up in cloud but decided to go for it - a great choice, a brilliant temperature inversion, bright sun on ridge with a sea of cloud below, just one or two tops poking through from Morven to the east and to Ben Hope and beyond to the west. From Ribigill, missed the correct line in the cloud and had to double back on the ridge to Sgorr Chaonasaid in the sun. Then great walking along the ridge in the sun over An Caisteal to bein Bheag and out west to the 662m top and Carn an Tionail. Missed the line down through the trees and it finished uo a bit of a hack until clear of them for the walk back.dickscroop13/08/2020

Ben Loyal from Ribigill. Sgor Chaonasaid, Ben Loyal, Beinn Bheag, descent NE to take in Creag Riabhach on return. Started bright, excellent views over the tops, weather deteriorated only on the descent.RobertP06/07/2016
Definitely a descript peak. For the views alone. Nice cairn. Good grass. Blue skies. Good company. A splendid dome from home.Martin R27/05/2014

A non-descript peak on the Ben Loyal mountain. Not much to say about this other than it was en-route to more interesting peaks.jonglew23/05/2012
