Climbed on 22/7/10 starting from the usual road-side space near Monzie. This was the day after Perth was flooded, so the flat area around the foot of this hill need several detours to avoid the mud and marsh. Ascent was a slog despite the fine path, but this was more than compensated for by the excellent views at the summit, especially that of Parts 2 and 3 of Beinn a' Ghlo. Didn't stay long at the top as I was being bothered by a couple of wasps.

Fine walk on a clear sunny April day. Cold & very windy on tops but a good challenge with great views (especially of the Cairngorms) & interesting corries all over the place. Two notes of caution - the relentless, often boggy, trudge back out through Glen Girnaig, an unspoilt wilderness, after steep rocky descent from Airgiod Beinn. Also echo previous entry about access road - follow road to Glen Fender & Monzie (right just before Old Br. of Tilt) after 2m take right fork for 1m to wee car park (6 max but parking on roadside short of this before cattle-grid) just short of Monzie at L.Moraig.

Just a hint on the approach roads, the area is a rabbit warren of little roads and tracks, easy to miss the one you want, from the South, as you enter Blair Atholl there is a Petrol Station and a Hotel, 100 yards from the Bridge of Tilt Hotel is a turning on the right, signposted Glen Fendoch, keep going until the road splits in 2, and take the right hand road signposted Monzie, this takes you to the Loch and the carpark. Cant really comment on the mountain, didnt see much of it, another pea soup day.

What a day - 3 Munros - visability excellent - a bit windy on the peaks but otherwise excellent - one of the best days ever for great walking and stunning 360 degree views - no navigation issues on a day like this but the route described turns south after descent from Airgoid Beinn but there is a path if you continue SSW (not on map) but visible on a clear day from descent

Climbed in April 2007. Sadly most of the day was spent in cloud, but I would come back here on a clear day. I really recommend doing the whole range but in low cloud it can be difficult to find the descent to the col leading to Carn nan Gabhar - I wasn't the only one to miss it today!

Climbed the Beinn a' Ghlo range last Saturday with two friends. Perfect day with superb views from Carn Liath across to Braigh Coire Chruinn-Bhalgain and Carn Nan Gabhar. A long walk but not too strenuous. Most interesting part was the steep descent of the subsidiary top of Airgiod Bheinn.

Carn Liath is the first hurdle of a possible fantastic day. I did it on a cold day with lots of the loose stones stuck together by ice - which allowed for a swift ascent. The view from the summit to Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgin and Carn nan Gabhar just invites you to complete them both and this can be easilly achieved - especially with crampons on - following the ridges. I have submitted a photo of the view from Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgin (Loooking SW) to the summit of Carn Liath - which makes it look really inspiration!

My very first Munro climbed in Easter 2003, a long slog up the path, but well worth the views from the summit on this clear day.

Climbed this on a bright, cold October day 2002. Views from car up Glen Fender were superb and even better when we parked by Loch Moraig. Clear path disappeared about 2000ft in snow but no real difficulty. Views from top were outstanding but weather was closing in and had to leave the rest for another day.
