With Richard and Gillian Walker from 
Bheinn Fhada. Good path north up ridge in snow squall. Descended NW down long featureless grassy slope in snow showers aiming for bridge, a route which avoids any forest. Primrose, wood anemone, feral goats and deer. Joined main track (good) just below bridge and then easily SW back to Morvich, crossing small hidden (mapped) foot bridge at NG981223. Long day. | Denise | 23/04/2023 |
Parked at the NTS Morvich car park. Good path up the valley into Coire an Sgairne and up onto the Beinn Fhada plateau. Went to the western end at Meall an Fhuarain Mhoir and main top before returning to the valley and climbing to Bealach an Sgairne. Good path again up A' Ghlas bheinn, including its South top. Descended via the west ridge, turning WNW to reach the bridge where the Falls of Glomach path enters the wood and then SW through woods and footbridge back. Mainly in cloud with some snow flurries. Views on Fhada for lunch. With Gillian and Denise. | richard69 | 23/04/2023 |
Run from Morvich, up to bealach na Sgairde, then onto summit. Back down the west ridge and like many others, into the forestry. Not too bad, soon back on the path. | Matt2901 | 01/04/2023 |
From Morvich - via Bealach an Sgairne. Some snow after Bealach but very depleted cover. Clear skies and no wind - silly warm for Feb. But treated to spectacular views in all directions. | wychwood | 26/02/2023 |

A'Ghlas-bheinn & Beinn Fhada + tops. 30KM | Huwel | 18/08/2021 |
Solo - anti-clockwise and including a trip out to the Falls of Glomach. Good paths for most of it but the soggy descent off the munro down to the path to the falls was a bit slippery over steep/rough wet terrain. Weather was mostly drizzly with clag - very cold wind at the summit - but the sun came out and the clouds cleared with 3miles remaining back out to the car. | mproudfoot | 26/11/2020 |

Great little hill lots of false summits and a great view.
