Hi folks. I'm hoping to do Beinn a'Chaorainn and Beinn Bhreac tomorrow, following the walkhighlands route. I've read that the glas alt mor can be impassable at times.Can I ask the options for getting across ? Cheers

I would suggest doing the route in reverse - if the stream crossing is a problem, the head up onto the plateau on the south side of the burn. Might be a bit rough and heathery. Probably won't be an issue though - it's high enough up that the water level will fall quickly after rain, and there are only small amounts forecast between now and tomorrow.
