Like the neighboring Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh to the northeast, the Beinn Fhionnlaidh is one of the rarely climbed Munros. Its elongated wide massif lies in an east-west direction between Glen Creran and Glen Etive , south of Glen Coe . To the north and west the mountain drops into the Glen Creran , to the south into the Glen Ure and the side valley of the Allt Bealach na h-Innsig , to the east into the Glen Etive . The Beinn Fhionnlaidh is - especially in the summit area - on all sides by cliffs and craggy coined. To the east, a nameless, 841 meter high pre-summit forms the end of the massif, in front of it to the south is the 595 meter high pre-summit of Meall nan Gobhar . To the west, the summit ridge gradually flattens out into Glen Creran .
The Beinn Fhionnlaidh can be climbed from both the east and west. To the west, the small settlement Elleric at the end of the public road in Glen Creran is the starting point. From there, the approach leads past the private Glenure Lodge to the east and onto the initially very wide and flat west ridge of the Beinn Fhionnlaidh, continuing to climb to the summit. The access from the east is steeper and requires easier climbing, especially on the connecting ridge between the east and main summit. The starting point is the small settlement of Invercharnan in Glen Etive. From there, the ascent leads steeply above the Allt Gaoirean to a small Bealach between the Meall nan Gobhar and the east summit. From there it goes largely pathless to the connecting ridge and to the main summit.
