Go short way south along the road, then turn left through a little gate and follow a track roughly east alongside the River Tirry, which runs almost dead straight past two big pine plantations. Once level with the second plantation the path climbs the left flank of a vague corrie to reach the remote Bealach Easach, a historic cross-country through-route.

The fine old track descends gently into the rugged glen, following the north bank of Loch a'Bhealaich to reach the shore of the larger Loch Choire. Beyond a patch of tall pines by the shore and an adjacent forestry enclosure is a wooden bridge over a gorse-flanked river.

Leave the track and head north up an open grassy slope. There is no path, but since the hillside is also free of the usual Scottish duo of tussocks and heather, the going is fairly easy. Pass a small cairn to reach a broad rocky ridge, and a while later a stone memorial to the victims of an air crash. This long ascent eventually gains the little rugged peak of Meall Ailein, a grand viewpoint from which to survey the enormous emptiness all around.

Follow the ridge west. At first the going is gentle, then a rougher climb through peat hags leads over Meall Meadhonach. From here it's grassy again, the well defined crest of the main peak's northeast ridge rising airily to Meall nan Con, Ben Klibreck's sole Munro summit.

In poor vis, descent requires care. Drop steeply almost due west to the crest of A'Chioch, which then swings southward to a broad col (spot height 688m). Continue on the gradual ridge up to Creag an Lochain. From here briefly head south before bearing southwest and then west, descending a steady slope cut with peat hags to reach a low col – there is a path, though it's easily misplaced. A last climb now reaches the minor summit of Cnoc Sgriodain.

Descend the vague south spur, bearing rightwards across the tussocky lower slopes to pick up a wide 4WD track. This returns to the A836 just north of the Crask Inn.
