| With Oscar, Dave and Sue during Easter trip to Skye (working remotely). | AGWilliamson | 31/03/2024 |
| Absolute brilliant morning with perfect conditions and spectacular views! | Kevthecat | 12/11/2023 |
| Solo round of Blabheinn summit and S top from car park by Loch Slapin. Took normal path up to summit, then across short traverse to the south top - barely a scramble. Descended SE ridge down to Fionna-Choire and then linked back up with inward path back to the car. Damp start but ended up with blue skies - total time 3h 45min. | mproudfoot | 09/07/2023 |
| With Eve. Set off early on beautiful sunny morning, with clear blue skies and great views all round throughout the ascent. Rough walk up loose path from corrie, especially the scree gully but wasn't difficult to navigate, and after this is straightforward path up to summit with its magnificent views out west of the Black Cuillin. | RufusHodge | 12/05/2023 |
| With Wooly and Colin on their final Munro. With John Wolstenholme, Colin Reed, Mark Wright and Simon Openshaw. | John Lee | 07/05/2023 |
| Beautiful sunny day, lots of snow lying, let Kev make the tracks through it & didnt see anyone else until halfway down again. | PDuncan82 | 10/03/2023 |
| Easy enough hill with H&K but poor weather conditions | Baz with H&K | 01/07/2022 |
| Solo up the normal route from the car park on the west side of Loch Lapin. Excellent path up for the most part, with a small amount of hands-on-rock. Unfortunately the clear forecast turned out to be completely wrong, and I was soaked before I had the good sense to put my waterproofs on. No views either :( Will have to revisit this one. Total time: 3h 39m | mproudfoot | 21/06/2022 |
| Lovely day and on top for 09:00. Spent 45 mins on top as views were awesome. Must have met around 40 people coming up on our way down😮 | akmilne | 03/06/2022 |

| Sporty route to Bla Bheinn | Nicky C | 22/10/2021 |
| After the south top, descended a rock face with a fair drop and then onto the munro proper. Much of the path down has eroded but managed to make my way down on some scree and then back to my car at the John Muir Car Park. | JAdair97 | 26/07/2021 |
| Ascent via the East flank and then descent via the South ridge, bagging North and South tops. | Dan Baddeley | 26/06/2021 |

| From John Muir Trust Car park (free) to the E. Ascended N from Coire Uagneich, went up scree gully part way up. Unpleasant. Better path to the right through crags. Nr summit struggled with chock stone in another gully. Easy to avoid round crags to left. | KeithByTheC | 16/09/2020 |
| With D, drive down from Ulla and sunny day up main path great view of cuillin ridge, and rum etc | Rodge | 06/09/2020 |

| Route: B8083 parking Coire Uaigneich Bla Bheinn SW Top Bla Bheinn Coire Uaigneich B8083 parking. Stats: 4hrs47, 9.28km, 990m ascent. Weather: clear, although windy at top. Notes: some tricky scrambling pitches on wet rock on ascent. | millionmts | 05/09/2019 |

| With Radina | gettingonabit | 01/07/2019 |
| My 64th Munro, with Karl Markham, as he got his last (282th) Munro. The weather was horrible but it was a great day as a huge gang of us slogged up to a clagfest on top, 6.5hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 01/06/2019 |
| With Jon, Housechild and Vicky. | Grinner-Munros2 | 28/05/2019 |
| 2nd Repeat | chalky1953 | 20/05/2019 |
| With IMacp. Glorious day, making up for the dismal weather on the previous visit. | Owen B | 15/05/2019 |
| Debs and Tali. Tourist path up and down. Nip out to the SW top, using the ledge while Debs waited with the dog. Annoyingly missed out the Prow. Collected Slat Bhienn & An Stac on the way down. | Mountain Goat | 09/05/2019 |
| A dawn start race against incoming clag, via the 'Tourist' route, which it deffo isn't once one is above the Fionna-choire (FC). The 'motorway' from the car park peters out into a maze of very faint tracks, presumably where people fan out in search for the way onward, above the FC, up R, until the harsh terrain forces them back into a smaller number of possibilities, where a few scree paths become clear. This is not a hill to descend its upper half in poor viz, with gashes, crags and gullies waiting to catch the unwary. Looked at the SW top but declined the verglass on the scrambly rocks. Just got back to the FC as the viz vanished. | Isbjorn Winter Round | 09/01/2019 |
| With Rod | Oik | 06/06/2018 |
| From SW top return direct to tourist path. Very hot sunny day | N.Morters | 27/05/2018 |
| My first Munro! Clouds came in just before we reached the top, so say nothing... | eilidh | 13/04/2018 |
| Wally's last Munro. When I finished in '86 he had 20 left and he's been trying to avoid doing them for 32 years! | jimbloomer2 | 09/04/2018 |
| Stopped just short of the summit due to awful weather conditions! | nell1583 | 19/10/2017 |
| From Loch Slapin CP by WalkHighlands route. Glorious day - summit views magnificent! | Crib Goch | 12/07/2017 |
| From Car Park, a round of Bla Bheinn, SW Top, Slat Bheinn and An Stac. | rhalstead | 05/06/2017 |
| Last Graham, Corbett and Munro: ascended Belig via SE ridge; Garbh Bheinn via Bealach na Beiste and Bla Bheinn via Clach Glas. Fantastic day in the Cuillin Hills with Alasdair Raffe and Ewan Lyons (thanks to Ewan for leading the tricky sections) | raffemeister | 07/05/2017 |
| From the east with Steve Smith. Fine walk up and fine views. ***Revisited 7 Sep 2023 at end of a Clach Glas traverse, with Dorothy Stirling and Neil Kerr. | jonglew | 05/05/2017 |
| Up tourist route from the east. My final Skye Munro with Jon Glew. | mntainman | 05/05/2017 |
| Fabulous viewpoint, pity about the huge pile of messy rubble on the top. | alda | 04/05/2017 |
| with Murray and Julie | Konstanci | 14/09/2016 |
| Up the tourist route, weather was foul. Once at the summit we struggled to find the way we came up so descended down the scree slope. Will have to come back again for the views. | tomd4 | 05/09/2016 |
| Climbed with Jim, Sarah, Franta, Rike. Great weather in the afternoon, so a late start & easy going pace. Good views of the Cullin ridge from the top | electricfox | 09/04/2016 |
| A beautiful day during our holiday at Tarven cottage in Portree. Great path into the hill from Loch Slapin Found the path onto the Main summit correctly this time. One difficult section of scree and one tricky short scramble move about 1-200 feet below the summit. I did not fancy returning the same way. I also wanted a look at the route to the south top - still as unpleasant and exposed looking as ten years' previously so bottled it again. An unpleasant descent of the scree into the corrie. | langskill | 12/10/2015 |
| Evening ascent. On own. | MorecambeMonkey | 21/06/2015 |
| Start: Loch Slapin Awesome ! Solo. | Baggerdaz | 25/05/2015 |
