Beinn Tulaichean

Munro
Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
946 m (3103 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Grid Ref.

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
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.

Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Tulaichean include
 Steep slopes on or near ascent routes.
 Crags near summit.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.

I chose to ignore the recommendation of the Munro "bible" and instead walked about 3k from the car park along the farm track until I was directly north of the col between Beinn Tulaichean and Cruach Ardrain. This shortened but, of course, steepened the generally grassy sloped climb up to the col which, when reached, gives the choice of going "left to Beinn T or "right" to Cruach Ardrain. Both were easy climbs to their respective summits in what was a glorious summer's day. The return journey retraced the earlier steps.

Tough wet going up slopes from Inverlochlarig. Thick cloud and driving rain by time of reaching the gate in the fence. Heading for the obvious break in the crags stumbled upon a faint path(rill in places) that goes over the crags, broad top and past rocky formations to the summit. Abandoned idea of Cruach Ardrain. Easier to follow this faint path in descent but beyond the gate it disappears above some barely visisible tree tops. This is very steep ground avoidable on either side. Note the two huge split rocks at rhe bottom -one topped by heather -the other apparently split by a rowan.

Climbed with Sandy Reid on Sun 5/7/09, a warm summer's day. 2 hrs got us to the top, leaving a large party of novice-walker, smoking policewomen an hour behind us. Nobody shouted "Stop, thief!" but it would have been tempting. Returning fm C Ardrain dropped R to steep wild glen rather than L to the Landrover track. No path and great exploratory feel. Unfortunately no pools deep enough for swimming but stopped for an alfresco shandy at Monachyle Mhor Hotel amd watched the red Lomond Seaplane (custom reg no G-WATR) land on Loch Voil - wonderful way to get to the pub on a drowsy Sunday afternoon.

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
