Beinn a' Chleibh sits just south-west of Ben Lui, joined to it by a short ridge, and most people tick it off on the same day. The name is thought to mean 'hill of the creel' or 'hill of the chest'. On top there are three cairns in a row, and the highest ground is a rock beside the middle one. It's usually the last hill in a long round of the four Ben Lui Munros.
