climb these from the South. bit of a winding drive down there but a great walker friendly car park at the end of it (Balquhidder). steep but simple and quick ascent on to the Beinn good path to Cruach Ardrain and then a really nice easy bouncy descent back to the glen and onto the track. you can even buy venison at the farm on your way back to the car a much shorter day than from the other side. misses out the river crossing and generally less boggy!

I chose to ignore the recommendation of the Munro "bible" and instead walked about 3k from the car park along the farm track until I was directly north of the col between Beinn Tulaichean and Cruach Ardrain. This shortened but, of course, steepened the generally grassy sloped climb up to the col which, when reached, gives the choice of going "left to Beinn T or "right" to Cruach Ardrain. Both were easy climbs to their respective summits in what was a glorious summer's day. The return journey retraced the earlier steps.

Tough wet going up slopes from Inverlochlarig. Thick cloud and driving rain by time of reaching the gate in the fence. Heading for the obvious break in the crags stumbled upon a faint path(rill in places) that goes over the crags, broad top and past rocky formations to the summit. Abandoned idea of Cruach Ardrain. Easier to follow this faint path in descent but beyond the gate it disappears above some barely visisible tree tops. This is very steep ground avoidable on either side. Note the two huge split rocks at rhe bottom -one topped by heather -the other apparently split by a rowan.

Climbed with Sandy Reid on Sun 5/7/09, a warm summer's day. 2 hrs got us to the top, leaving a large party of novice-walker, smoking policewomen an hour behind us. Nobody shouted "Stop, thief!" but it would have been tempting. Returning fm C Ardrain dropped R to steep wild glen rather than L to the Landrover track. No path and great exploratory feel. Unfortunately no pools deep enough for swimming but stopped for an alfresco shandy at Monachyle Mhor Hotel amd watched the red Lomond Seaplane (custom reg no G-WATR) land on Loch Voil - wonderful way to get to the pub on a drowsy Sunday afternoon.

Climbed with Paula, starting from Inverlochlarig, having heard that coming from the Crianlarich side was tough going. The ascent of the lower slopes of Beinn Tulaichean was a real slog in uneven terrain and even passing the last fence seemed to take forever. Once we were through the line of crags, the slope eased a bit and the discovery of a path higher up saw our spirits raised enough to race onto the summit and head over to Criach Ardrian.

Climbed on 18/7/2005 with the intention of getting the supposed breathtaking views but the infamous Scottish weather had other ideas visibility down to 30 ft at summit with winds that could provide power for the whole of Scotland for a week appearing. A hasty descent was in order so little sightseeing and appreciating of the view which was fantastic over both lochs Voil & Doine (cloud cleared).An alternative route on the way up from Inverlochlarig farm about 2.5kms up the path past summit on your left then take a direct route up past overhanging craggs to the shoulder between Cruach Ardrain

Climbed Beinn Tulaichean on 9th July from Inverlochlarig. Theres not a proper path, but you just have to ascend straight up the southern slopes of Beinn Tulaichean until it levels then its just a walk along the ridge to the summit, Cruach Adrain is about another 40 mins from the summit of Beinn Tulaichean, a relatively easy climb these two munros are and good views at both tops.
