Most of the length of Beinn Liath Mhòr's long ridge is comprised of white quartzite tops constrasting with the lower slopes of heather-clad sandstone.

With less than 2km (as the crow flies) between Beinn Liath Mhòr and its neighbouring Munro Sgòrr Ruadh, most hillwalkers will opt to bag these hills together in one outing. The most popular approach is from Coire Lair, starting from Coulags in Strath Carron. A fine alternative is approach from Ling Hut in Glen Torridon.

Both of these routes can be extended. In the case of the approach from Coulags, Maol Chean-dearg can be added in, whereas from Glen Torridon, the route can be extended to include two Corbett peaks of Sgùrr Dubh and Sgòrr nan Lochain.
