Binnein Beag is a compact mountain with a conical summit of boulders and scree with crags to the W and NE. The slopes are of moderate incline, and the ascent is easy but with some scrambling over boulders. Normal access is via the path that passes between Binnein Beag and Binnein Mor and up the W slopes.

In response to Roger's request for a report on the south ridge I can confirm that it is steep and rough but not excessively loose. My general impression of this hill is that it's an annoyingly pointy little so and so, a long way from anywhere. There's also a very tedious drop and re-ascent between the two lochans which seems unavoidable when approaching from the south.

We approached from Glen Nevis. The Water of Nevis can be crossed on stepping stones at 205684, 60 metres beyond an upright metal fence post. After a trudge up a wet, grassy
slope we chose to ascend by the scree slope directly ahead. This was very hard work, the stones being too unstable to support my weight, although my wife had less difficulty. We
took a steep, grassy way down between the north and the east ridges, taking care to avoid hidden rock outcrops. After passing the north ridge we descended on wet grass to cross
the river at 214688 using a grassy island and a large boulder, but there are other options.
I would be glad to hear of a better route for the final 500 feet to the summit. Perhaps some one would send in a report on the south ridge.
