These two hills rise steeply over their north-facing cliffs on the south end of Rannoch Moor and climbed from Achallader Farm starting with Beinn Achaladair's northern slopes reached by following the track by the Water of Tulla and then through Crannach Wood (Old Caledonian Forest). Climbing the northern ridge leads to the summit of the mountain. The eastern ridge of Beinn Achaladair drops steeply to reach the Bealach an Aoghlain (813m) from where a continuation along the high ridge eventually leads to the second munro summit "Beinn a’ Chreachain" which is the higher of the two.
To descend south via the southern top onto straightforward long southern ridge which leads to Coire Daingean where further descend can be made northwards back to the farm
