Beinn a' Bha'ach Ard lies on a ridge which curves round a high corrie, Coire Mheadhoin, and is located W of the corrie. The most E top on the ridge is Carn na Gabhalach (713m) and a path ascends to this top from Inchmore. This path continues W to Sgurr a' Phollain (855m). From here the ridge continues SW to an un-named top (835m) and finally SSW to Beinn a' Bha'ach Ard with its craggy S slopes. Carn an Sgoltaidh (520m) with its equally craggy slopes terminates the E rim of the corrie. This hill is best taken as a traverse of the corrie rim from Carn na Gablhach, but to reduce the route length an ascent of Beinn a' Bha'ach Ard can be made from the path by the Neaty Burn to the SW.
