Beinn Chorranach is the quietest of the Beinn Ime massifs three main hills. The north ridge offers the finest ascent plus the option of Beinn Ime for any Munro baggers.
From the car park at Butterbridge follow the track north-west to the cottage of Abyssinia. Leave the main track, ford the Kinglas Water and ascend the track to the old cottage. Follow the small burns bank up the hillside to a deer fence. Follow good animal tracks below it east then south into Gleann Uaine. Cross over a ladder stile and ascend directly to the ridge of Beinn Chorranach.
Follow the long ridge to the summit cairn then descend to Glas Bhealach, the col below Beinn lme, where there's a choice of routes — west down to Butterbridge or up Beinn Ime. Over Beinn Ime, a clear path leads to the summit. Continue south on a path heading for the Cobbler and Beinn Narnain, descending to the col between Ime and Luibhean, double baggers can pick up the Corbett if desired. From the pass, follow the right [east] side of the burn draining north from the col to descend into the corrie below Ime's west face and below the Glas Bhealach. Follow the
burn down then cross to the west side and a rough path between the burn and felled forestry.
Descend to an aerial on a hillock on the left. Cross a fence to gain the aerial, from where a track leads down to the road. Pick the driest line to gain the old tarmac road in the floor of the glen, and follow it back over General Wade's Butterbridge to the car park.
