Beinn a' Ghlo is a classic route on moderate heather/grass slopes leading to stony summits. This complex mountain could be difficult to navigate in poor visibility.

Head to: Blair Atholl
From Blair Atholl (A9) take minor road N on east side of River Tilt to Middlebridge then on towards Loch Moraig as far as the road will allow. There is limited parking where you leave the trees for more open ground.

Two points. When I did this walk Easter Sunday 2011, it is worth noting that there is now only ONE wooden hut at point 2. Judging by the charred wood, it looks as though the bothy has burnt down.
I returned from the final summit to the bealach at point 6, and followed a vague deer trod safely enough down to almost the base of the S ridge, and then crossed to the west side to pick up a well trodden path which led directly back to the single hut.

Most people now seem to come off the western edge of Airgoid Beinn down a steep path that connects to the Coire Lagain path further up the Allt Bealach an Fiodhe than is indicated by the Muromagic route at point 11. A path from the col at point 6 down the east side of the burn also seems to be well-patronised and may be a better option than the stony upper ridge of Airgoid Beinn.

This is quite a long day which I measured at 14 miles and which took me 7 hours. Excellent views on a clear day. Care is required when descending from Airgiod Bheinn to ensure you intercept the path - this would be easy to pass by in mist.

This route is on paths most of the way. The descent from Airgold Bienn can be tricky! a faint path gets lost in the scree dodgy in the mist otherwise a good day.

Climbed in October 2006. A nice hill on a beautiful day. carparking at Monzie. there is a clear path up Carn Liath, some minor boggy patches in the lower reaches. The path continues over the other two munros- Carn nan Gabhar has 3 cairns (one with a trig point- the top is the furthest North). descended off the spur of the munro top- this is really quite a steep descent and cutting through the corrie from the beallach may be a better plan as there is another path there. however, there was stalking in the corrie that day that mean this route was not possible.
