Took the cicerone guide ascent which I do not recommend to others. It's a dull ascent through peat and grass.
No view of your goal (maybe the weather conditions contributed to that). At the summit only storm and mist with rarely a view down or around. The descend over the more northerly ridge made it all worthwhile due to clearing weather.

The views if the cloud cover is above summits are excellent. Ben Wyvis in the East, Fannichs to the North moving round An Teallach, Fisherfield, Slioch, Torridon and a plethora of hills to the South. Really enjoyable day.
As to the route East and the path through the woods. There are now newish gates through the deer fences so they pose no problem. Follow the wall from the main ridge East until the clear path drops South towards the trees. In the trees there were a couple of fallen trees across the path, the trees have overgrown the path a bit and the paths boggy in places. Passable though.

I'm with Martin on this one. Ladhar Bheinn it ain't, admittedly, but it gives tremendous views for very little effort.

I loved this hill - so green, soft and bouncy after all that barren rocky stuff in Glen Torridon. It also has a very beautiful, lonely trig point.

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!
