A steep and distinctive shaped peak, it is often climbed as part of the "Fisherfield Six", in conjunction with five nearby Munros.
Beinn a' Chlaidheimh was listed as a Munro itself until 2012, however it was found to come up just 44 cm short of the required 914.40 m height required for a Munro, and was subsequently downgraded to Corbett status.[3][4]
