About Beinn Trilleachan
Beinn Trilleachan sits at the head of Loch Etive, north of Taynuilt, on the boundary between Highland and Argyll and Bute. It is a notably rocky Grampian peak.
Its reputation rests largely on the slabs that fall towards Loch Etive — the Etive Slabs — a long-established rock climbing ground. The summit reaches 840 metres and the hill is classed as a Corbett and Marilyn.
