From Castles Farm. Up main path to Beinn Eunaich. Out and back to East Top and Meall Copagach which give excellent view of Beinn Eunaich. Then Beinn a' Chochuill. Dropped straight off to enjoy the views of the opposite range on the descent, although it was quite steep. Clear on all summits having dawdled a little at the start as it forecast clear from midday. Great views. Solo.meltdiceburg19/09/2022
Straightforward circuit using the usual Walkhighlands route. Lovely day, perfect views with a nice breeze, and the descent isn't too bad if you take your time.TRG31810/08/2022

With Tom. From car about 200m NE of farm gate (8:05) up track by bridge, finally zig-zagging back on track to end of SE ridge. Ascended (path only at top) and along ridge to summit. Cloud and light snow cleared just in time for view. Back along ridge (retrieving dropped GPS), down to col and steeply up to summit. Cloud and light rain on top. Pleasant ridge walk down with very steep final descent. Back to car 14:10dbb28/04/2017
From the B8077 by Castles Farm. Plenty of Hieland Coos for company at the start and on returning from Beinn Eunaich. A steep climb up the SE ridge. Excellent views of Loch Etive and the Cruachans from just west of the summit.Nick Down108/10/2016
Euans 2nd Munro. Hot day, nice easy walk in on the track then very steep initially decided on a food stop after 200m,just to break up the climb. Wisps of cloud swirled around when we got to the 881m marker cairn Euan loved this being upin the clouds. Clear views from the summit. Not much in the way of wildlife spotted other than sheep & meadow pippits & a few red deer on the descent but they were way below on the Coire Glas sideLizzieG29/08/2016
