Eastern Mountains of Crianlarich and Tyndrum

The Eastern Mountains
Summits include: The Beinn Odhar group of Corbetts, Ben Challum, Meall Glas, Beinn nan Imirean and Sgaith Chuill.

Beinn Odhar and surrounding summits
This is probably the only group of summits where it's reasonably possible to climb five Corbetts in a day. The stipulation that Corbetts need at least 50ft all round has generally made a traverse of more than two Corbett a demanding day. This is no exception - to traverse all five in a day is tough - the walking typically involves 300 - 400m reascent between each summit.



The Corbetts here are generally grassy and quite rounded. There are one or two exceptions - Beinn a' Chaiseil has a very steep west facing escarpment that competes with Beinn Dorain for attention. Cam Chreag is another Corbett with impressive slopes. Watch out for low lying electric fences - especially in deep snow!

Ben Challum
An easier round taking in two of these Corbetts + the munro Ben Challum is the circuit of Gleann a' Chlachain. The going is mostly grassy except for the section between Ben Challum and Cam Chreag - the north-west ridge of Ben Challum is quite rocky with some steep sections. The reascent to Cam Chreag is also quite steep but can be circumvented more easily. Again electric fences are a feature to watch out for on the lower slopes around here.

Meall Glas, Beinn nan Imirean and Sgaith Chuill
A circuit of these summits can be made at eith Auchessan in Glen Dochart or the road end at Glen Lochay. The Glen Lochay approach is generally regarded as being the most scenic. The approach from the south is very heathery and a bit boggy. Higher up, the going is more grassy but there are none the less some craggy bluffs that may have to be negotiated.
