Mountain Description
Beinn Trilleachan dominates the western shore at the head of Loch Etive. This hill is famous for its huge inclined granite slabs which lend themselve to friction climbing. Beinn Trilleachan is a steep sided hill with the summit at the confluence of its two ridges, NE and SSW. For the hill-walker the safest approach is to follow the path by the forest edge at Gualachulain onto the NW ridge. This ridge requires some scrambling and sections offer a degree of exposure
