From most roadside viewpoints, Beinn a’ Mhùinidh appears little more than a continuation of its mightier neighbour Slioch. Yet the deep trench of Gleann Bianasdail divides the two, with the Abhainn an Fhasaig cutting through beneath tiers of crags that line Beinn a’ Mhùinidh’s north-western face. These cliffs continue southwards to form the mountain’s south-west side and its minor top Meallan Ghobhar, where the Allt na Still plunges dramatically in a fine waterfall – likely the source of the hill’s name. By contrast, the eastern and northern flanks are less steep but feel wild and remote, their undulating ground dotted with tiny lochans as they slope away to Gleann na Muice, the Heights of Kinlochewe and the southern shores of Lochan Fada leading into Fisherfield.

The only practical start is from Incheril, reached by the bridge over the Kinlochewe River where there is a decent-sized car park. From here the hill can be tackled directly, but with no paths the ascent is across rough, trackless slopes where route choice is largely arbitrary. Approaches from other directions are generally impractical unless combining the climb with neighbouring hills.
