Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Bheoil is an elongated mountain, orientated SSW to NNE, separating Ben Alder from Loch Ericht. The E slopes fall steeply to Loch Ericht and are mostly craggy. The W slopes are steep and craggy where they overlook Lochan Bhealach Bheithe but to the N they become moderate to easy. Access routes are the W slopes of Sron Dreineach to the NNW and from Bealach Breabag up the W slopes of Sron Coire na h-Iolaire to the SSW.

Ben Alder and Beinn Bheoil
|
This long route (with some scrambling) is more of an expedition. If you cycle to Loch Pattack the remaining route is 7h, 22km, ascent 917m which can be completed on a long summer day. Otherwise take a tent.

Accessed hill by cutting straight up to summit ridge (to point 1 kilometre north of the summit cairn) with very little difficulty. Descent northeast down corrie was also straightforward. Track along Loch Ericht north to Ben Alder Lodge was excellent with newly built bridges across all the streams.
