Poor conditions of rain, thick cloud, wind, large crags and complicated terrain made the traverse from Triuirebheinn very difficult. Anyway, I got there in the end! There is a cairn on every rock on the summit area! Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 07/06/2022 |

Parked outside disused school. Small cairn gone. | CJM | 08/09/2021 |
From Lasgair on a murky misty day with Bolton, parked in front of the old school ruin on the main road. The usual route over the bridge, then Beinn Ruigh Choinnich first, up the NW ridge, finding a very good path high up. Down the N ridge, dodging into a washed out river bed near the bealach, then deer tracks up various bits of steep grassy gully then easier S ridge to Triuirebheinn. Descent west on easy short grass at first to Loch nan Smalag and the track. | Gill | 07/09/2021 |
Parked outside the derelict school on the road into Lochboisdale. The bridge from Lasgair has seen better days. Cloudy summit. With Gill S. | bolton | 07/09/2021 |

From near bend in road at Lasgair - initially along a very boggy track to FB. Followed pretty good track for a while then headed for Triuirebheinn (a very shapely hill) & on to Beinn Rurgh Choinnich (good views down to Lochboisdale). | ger | 07/10/2019 |

With: hb; Ascended from Bealach an Easain after Triuirebheinn. Watched a pair of Eagles on ascent. Confusing set of summit cairns required some surveying. Met David Broom on summit who had come up west ridge and was heading north. | Ian Baines | 12/05/2016 |
