A track turns off left for the ford to Lubchurran, and will be the return route: for now, keep ahead. Pass below Badour and then below a mountaineering club hut, Badvaim (or Batavaime). At the head of Glen Lochay the track crosses two streams, and bends to the south.

As the track starts to climb towards Lochan Chailein, look out for a smaller grassy track forking down left. It fords the stream then zigzags up towards Meall Glas. Waterfalls are to right of the track. It ends in a shallow grassy bowl at 550m altitude. Turn south, crossing various feeder streams of the waterfalls, onto the north ridge of Beinn nan Imirean. Go up the pathless grassy ridge to the summit cairn.

Turn down east at first, keeping to right of a cairn apparently placed to guide you over the one small cliff hereabouts. Go down grassy slopes, to pass a conspicuous quartz boulder. The col below is peat-hagged on the right (southeast) side, but at its highest point a short peaty crossing leads to a series of firm hummocks. Go straight up Meall Glas to a shoulder to right of the summit, then turn up northwest to the top. The summit cairn is mostly made of quartz from a nearby vein.
