Detailed route description and map

An Caisteal and Beinn a'Chroin from Glen Falloch

Other routes and challenges

For those wishing to add a third Munro, Beinn Chabhair can be included, but the descent and reascent to reach it involves steep and challenging terrain. The descent from Beinn Chabhair is then usually made to the west.

The epic challenge route hereabouts involves ascents of all the 7 Crianlarich Munros - an exceptionally demanding expedition over very rough terrain at times.
