From CP at N end Loch Etive. Via Coire Cricheduchally03/03/2023
From Beinn Trilleachan. Descended west to the 740m contour, then found the stream heading NW and followed it to the col. Continued west uphill joining the ridge line at 500m asl, then an easy and pleasant stroll over the slabs to the attractive twin summit. Returned to parking in Glen Etive by descending back along the north ridge, then surprisingly good going between the 350m and 400m contours to Coire Criche, then down to the muddy path by the forest edge from there.Owen B25/08/2022
From car park at top of Loch Etive. Up usual route, then direct down W to lochan, up Beinn Mheadhonach, then S to new hydro road, and back up Loch Etive path (tough). Hottest day of year, many long stops. Rounsfell18/07/2022

Longish 24K day combining 3 Marilyns including Trilleachan. Fanastic March day with reflections of snowy Ben Cruachan at the start. With Graham B. Horrible track from head of L. Etive to col on way to An Grinan. Unmarked track continuing from Lochan towards Beinn Mheadhonach aided progress.davechaffey25/03/2022

From Elleric car park, up the Glen Ure track past An Grianan, wonderful scenery. ATV track from the lovely lochans to the end of the ridge; it does not even deserve to be called a Curate's egg but it's better than no track. A bit of tussock in the lower section of the ridge, improving rapidly and turning into a fabulous stroll on granite pavements. I liked the pointy little top; the views are stunning. Overall, a fine walk into a wild area. I hate getting up early so did not have time for An Grianan on a short November day, but, no worries, it will be good to return to Glen Ure.Gill04/11/2021

Long walk in on a track over a col, so in effect we had 3 hills to climb, so we arrived at the top quite late - 3.30 or so. walked out with Jon in the dark, with just the one head torch... Great day. Can still do it.tallblond22/10/2019

From end of Glen Etive road, over the shoulder of Trilleachan. Rough track along the forest, then nothing. Shorter route but possibly harder.iangalbraith27/06/2019

Round of Grianan and Mheadhonach from road end in Glen Creran. After Grianan, returned to bridge at 078471 and across hillside, extensively covered with yellow flowering Bog Asphodel, to long, slab covered N ridge. Dry and warm conditions were ideal, despite the clegs. Intermittent quad tracks were of some assistance.Topographer5725/07/2017
