ROUTE DESCRIPTION: STOB a' COIRE EASAIN & STOB a' CHOIRE MHEADHOIN

Location: Stob a’ Choire Mheadhoin and Stob a’ Coire Easain, Lochaber
Grade: Serious mountain walk
Distance: About 9 miles / 15km
Approx Time: 5-7 hours




Stob a’ Choire Mheadhoin and Stob a’ Coire Easain are two Munros that rise above the west shore of Loch Treig
and are nicely linked by a high, narrow bealach. Their dual ascent makes a superb 15km jaunt - one of
the best hill treks in the area.
A track leads through woods and then a muddy footpath onto the col that lies below Meall Cian Dearg, the first major bump on the ridge. Already the views open up - past the rocky Corbetts of Sgurr Innse and its close neighbour Cruach Innse to the symmetrical peak of Stob Ban, a shapely Munro that’s dwarfed by the big peaks of the Grey Corries.
The Stob a’ Choire Mheadhoin ridge makes a broad highway, but it soon begins to narrow as it curls round the top of the steep-sided Coire Shomhairle. A series of rocky corries lie below the eastern slopes of the ridge.
Continue over the broad summit of Stob a’ Choire Mheadhoin and down the steep slopes to the high bealach that
separates the two Munros. Climb the steep north-east ridge of Stob a’ Choire Easain.

Map: OS 1:50,000 Landranger sheet 4l ( Ben Nevis ); Harvey Mountain Map, Ben Nevis & Glen Coe
Distance: About 9 miles / 15km
Approx Time: 5-7 hours
Start/Finish: Car parking area above Fersit ( GR: NN348782 )


Route:
From the car parking area follow the track to Loch Treig.
Pass the dam and take the second turning on the right.
This is initially a broad track that runs up to some sheep pens.
Beyond the pens it becomes a muddy argotrack all the way to the col NE of Meall Cian Dearg.
Climb W steeply to the top of this subsidiary top,
continue in a SW direction along the ridge,
over another bump before climbing to the stony summit of Stob a’Choire Mheadhoini.
Descend in a SW direction down rocky slopes to the bealach,
ascend the obvious path that runs up the E ridge of Stob CoireEasain.
From the summit follow the NW ridge and drop down into the wide moors of Coire Laire,
a faint footpath by the river carries you down the glen to meet up with the old British Aluminium
Company railway line that can be followed back to the starting point.
