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.

Despite hot, humid and cloudy weather I enjoyed this route. The pull up from point 5 to 6 (as given in the route description) felt like hard work but the reward of arriving on the ridge close to the summit certainly made it worth while and it was over quickly. The descent is steep but not difficult.

We followed a generally clockwise circuit to include both Beinn a'Chochuill then Beinn Eunaich. We did not follow this route, choosing instead to climb up the ridge that falls SE from Beinn a'Chochuill to the branch in the hydro track. I wish that we HAD followed the track to its west end, then climbed to the Lairg Noe. That would have been less of a slog and would have been more interesting. The descent southwards from Eunaich is mainly very pleasant, although the final steep drop onto the hydro track certainly sets the legs trembling at the end of the day!

Much easier route than the earlier one. A gentle but steady incline allows a sheltered approach. Once you leave the road to gain the Larig Noe the going is a little boggy. From the Larig you have a good pull to the top. No real difficulties apart from a bit of effort. The ridge walk east is a delight. The subsequent pull up to the last Munro is quickly done. The walk out to the south is easy but the descent to the track saps the legs.
