Beinn a' Chochuill and Beinn Eunaich lie on a long ridge running W from Glen Strae to Glen Etive. Beinn a' Chochuill lies in the middle of this ridge connected to Beinn Eunaich in the E and W of Beinn a' Chochuill the ridge progressively loses altitude. There is a short ridge S from the summit ridge to the Lairig Noe which can be used for a descent to the access track, but the more usual route is on a short spur SE from the E ridge which leads down to the same track.

Beinn Eunaich and Beinn a' Chochuill

This is a nice easy day out, with no real difficulties. Much easier than neighbouring Ben Cruachan. Take time to enjoy the views of Stob Damh, Ben Cruachan, Glen Noe and Loch Etive. As well as the views from the tops of the Etive and Glen Coe tops.

We set off from the car park, in snow, with the plan of getting as far as we could without it getting dangerous. However we managed both peaks in what was a bit of an epic day out! Stuart, myself, Colin and Buddy 26/03/08

We climbed this munro Hogmanay 2004. The rain stayed away for the first hour or so and the many cows on the path behaved. It all changed when the real ascent began away from the path and up the steep grassy slopes. Extremely windy on the summit and hail like bullets! Interesting ridge walk and eager to see the view next time. Daylight was running out so we had to leave Beinn Eunaich for another day. Look forward to revisiting that ridge!
