Up the LL&C Way from the CP above Coilessan. Then a good footpath along the NW ridge to the summit of Cnoc Coinnich. No paths thereafter to Beinn Reithe and The Saddle so we stayed as high as possible along the curved ridge, joining up deer trods were available. Descended SE to the forestry road from The Saddle along the overgrown track that starts at the forest edge in Beallach na Diollaide. Managed to hitch a lift back to the starting CP from a great guy delivering diesel to the forestry workers busy felling much of the plantation.summitter17/08/2023
Parked at the Coilessan road end. Along forest track until S of The Saddle, then old track to open hillside. Summited The Saddle, then onto Beinn Reithe (visited trig and summit). Down to old track N of Allt a' Guanan and back along forest track.PGCE20/09/2022
From the col to the S, coming from The Saddle. Ascended E of the rocky ridge, going below the trig point and on to the summit. Seemed like a long descent, passing Carn Glas to the NE, then along the line of the stream (N side would have been better) later picking up an ATV track passing the two tops of The Steeple. At about 280m height, went west on a path to an abseil point with a path off left of the cliff, then N to meet the LDP back to lochgoilhead.LizH27/03/2022
A snowy jaunt between storms. From public road end using forest tracks to gain access to open hill. Sheep had trod useful paths through foot deep snow lower down. A beautiful sunny day. With Rick and dogs.jenx19/02/2022
Glorious view. Descended to track only shown on 1:25000 NS 24290 99225.Not immediately obvious. Disused but currently passable. In a couple of years will be overgrown with small firsOh no I forgot...19/08/2021

From Cnoc Coinnich. With Ian.Dangerous Dave01/10/2016
Cnoc Coinnich, Beinn Reithe, The Steeple E top and The Steeple from Lochgoilhead. Good paths and easy climb to Cnoc Coinnich. Seemed a long way to Beinn Reithe with its 2 tops (N one probably slightly higher than outcrop by trig). Took in the two tops of The Steeple on the way back. The Steeple is impressive rocky feature with excellent views down to Lochgoilhead and the mountains beyond.RobertP28/08/2016

Solo from Lochgoilhead after ascending Cnoc Coinnich. Down snow fields from summit of Cnoc Coinich and over minor bumps to summit of Beinn Reithe. Continued to trig point, 150m or so further south. Rough route back, keeping above forest. Very cold.pwbellarby08/04/2013
