Beinn Tulaichean overlooks Inverlochlarig to the S and is most easily accessed from Inverlochlarig Farm at the head of Loch Doine near Balquidder. Beinn Tulaichean is effectively a peak on the SE ridge of Cruach Ardrain. Beinn Tulaichean has three ridges, the main ridge runs NW to Cruach Ardrain and there are short ridges SSW and ESE, the latter facilitating a direct ascent from Inverlochlarig. The top has many rocky outcrops but it is not difficult to find a route through these. If returning via Cruach Ardrain do not attempt an early descent into Coire Earb, but ascend the ridge to regain the path to Grey Height.
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 18/07/05 after Cruach Ardrain, a nice relaxing walk from the bealach with nice views of Ben More and Stob Binnein, followed path back via Grey Height then down towards River Falloch.
