| With PM. Fantastic 360° view. | CJM | 12/09/2023 |
| From the red shed at Am Feur-Loch with CM. Bright, sunny day and enough wind to keep the bugs off. Really pleasant walk to the stepping stones and then a straightforward walk and climb to this great viewpoint of the Torridon giants. 13 mile return Baosbheinn too much for us old men. 7 hrs 45 minutes. | bolton | 12/09/2023 |
| Parked at shed beside Am Feur Loch. To Baosbheinn, it's E Top & Ceann Beag then from Poca Buidhe started towards burn about 0.5 km to N but after a few minutes headed NE to ridge. Steep & bouldery in places but ok. Down via N Top. | duchally | 06/06/2023 |
| With: hb; With: hb; From wildcamp by Abhainn a'Gharbh Choire up Coire Loch na Geala to northern top then over N top to summit of Beinn an Eòin. Returned over N top then rejoined ascent route back to wild camp. | Ian Baines | 25/05/2023 |

| Long day out and back from the Red Stable. North wind but strong sun - strange mix of hot and cold. | kenmorti | 26/04/2023 |
| Beinn an Eoin & Baosbheinn from by the green building on the A832, with Jon & John. A day of blue skies and a cool breeze made for a perfect outing of these two - following the track up to around 400m, then striking off up Baosbheinn via An Reidh-choire, then over to the summit. Headed SE across Ceann Beag and descended SE to the head of Loch na h-Oidhche and had lunch in front of the (closed) bothy. Headed slightly NW to avoid any crags whilst ascending the steep Beinn an Eoin. Stopped at summit for photos and then followed the ridge NW to the end and descended back down to the path back out to the A832. Tiring but rewarding day - total time 7h 56min. | mproudfoot | 22/04/2023 |
| from Red Bothy (Green Shed).Along the ridge both ways. New snow. 22km | jef | 11/04/2023 |
| Made a bit of a hash of tis. Was planned as a two day round but did not work out. Walked in to about half way along the lock, cut up to the ridge, took in the NW top, along to main top and back to pack. n to bothy which I now find is closed, I had missed the sign art the start. Spent the night in the quite decent howf. Set off to continue the round in the morning but realised I was not up to it. Quite some time since I had carried a sack due to Covid. | dickscroop | 24/04/2022 |

| From 'Green shed' by A832 along excellent track SE joining and following Abhainn a' Gharbh Choire to ca NG885672, then E across moorland to N ridge of Beinn an Eoin, ascending by intermittent tracks slightly E of crags, along top of ridge over N Top to Beinn Eoin summit, returning same way. | kdbennett | 28/08/2020 |
| From Am Feur Loch via the Marilyn near the main road. Wimped out of the stepping stones at the stream crossing and got wet feet improvising a crossing (was braver on the return and managed not to slip). No obvious path most of the way up to the ridge but no particular difficulty. Then an attractive, airy ridge walk on lovely sandstone. It was already gone 2pm at the summit and the wind was much stronger than expected, so rather reluctantly bailed out of Baosbheinn. Retraced steps to point 682 on the ridge, then steeply down to the loch with no real difficulty and ambled back out of the wind. | Owen B | 26/08/2019 |
| From Red Barn, track mostly OK but steep and stony sections so did not cycle. Easily up north ridge, awesomely narrow at summit. Splendid mountain setting. Down the south ridge, very craggy requiring intensive care. Bothy closed. On to Baosbheinn. Very warm with little wind, carried 2 litres of water in thermos containers but still had to fall back on streams. | Topographer57 | 15/05/2019 |
| Walk in from North, lovely day, cold but no snow. Great views, Caman’s first Corbett (my dog!) Finish by torchlight. | Bongonog | 10/01/2019 |
