Solo from car park at the end of Glen Etive. Up forest edge on boggy path with deep vegetation (1.5m high bracken!) Steeply up Meal nan Gobhar then more reasonably onto top of Trilleachan Slabs. Really enjoyable traverse across to Beinn Trilleachan summit with great views to Starav, Cruachan and the Glencoe hills. Return same way.John Lee18/07/2023

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
Up the forest edge then aimed for the top. Some issues with outcrops on way up to Trilleachan Slabs but I found a much better line down. Then on to main top for a long leisurely lunch in the sun - a change from miost recent days.dickscroop06/06/2022

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.
