Mountain Description
The summit of Beinn Eunaich lies at the intersection of four ridges. The W ridge leads to Beinn a' Chochuill where the mountains are linked by a high col. The usual ascent is through farmland on the track to the Lairig Noe then onto the S ridge of Beinn Eunaich with steep grass leading to the summit. The SE and NE ridges are more craggy and not normally used for ascent, but as the path to Glen Kinglass over Lairig Dhoireann rises to 660m which could facilitate an ascent by the NE ridge.

Battled across the ridge in what can only be described as a white out. Dog seemed to love it though! 26/03/08

Climbed Beinn Eunaich in a mixture of wind, sun, rain and hail - sometimes all at the same time. Climb up Stob Maol was fairly steep, but after that there was no difficulties. Descended back via the ridge that adjoins Beinn a Chochuill, then cutting down alongside the Allt Lairig Ianachain. Unfortunately we ran out of time to climb Beinn a Chochuill itself.
