Fionn Bheinn is the only one of the Fannaich Hills to lie S of Loch Fannich, and iconsequently is climbed alone and from the S. The summit of Fionn Bheinn lies on the edge of a high corrie, Toll Mor, with steep craggy slopes. To the SW there are some very steep slopes which moderate to the N into Srath Chrombuill. To the E are easier slopes from which three ridges run, E to Sail an Tuim Bhain where a path leads to Achnasheen, S to Creagan nan Laogh which is the main ascent route. A third ridge on the N slopes separates Toll Mor from Toll Beag runs NE towards Loch Fannich.
If coming down east side towards wood be aware that streams are ravine like and difficult to cross nearer the wood if in spate.
Also if you come down path through the wood you will encounter a robust deer fence on the South side-better to traverse westward as soon as you leave trees.

Combined this Munro with a walk up the Graham of Meall a'chaorainn, with the intention of an overnight stop at Loch Fannaich and a second Graham. Hill is a grand viewpoint with a huge semicircle of peaks to the north. I did not see a soul all day. Sunday was a wet day so abandoned any attempt on Beinn nan Ramh and walked out. Still savour the views of Torridon and Fisherfield from the top to this day.

For many years in the area we have joked about having a "Fionn Bheinn" sort of a day - with so many fantastic mountains in the area, this one doesn't get much of a look in. In soft February snow, we finally had a "Fionn Bheinn" day, with a long trudge up to the top and a slightly shorter trudge down. Things were made a bit more interesting by my three friends all having skis, but the snow was a bit soft at times and my poly bag was used selectively on the steep bits to keep up most of the time. This is a hill to squeeze in for a few hours when you're passing through!
