Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob Diamh is a craggy peak at the E end of Ben Cruachan ridge which runs E to W with many minor ridges on both the Glen Noe side and the Loch Awe side. To the W of Stob Diamh the ridge leads to Drochaid Ghlas and to the S a narrow ridge leads to Stob Garbh (980m) then divides to produce S and ESE branches. From the summit of Stob Diamh the main ridge continues NE, turning SE. A descent on the SW slope of the S ridge leads to the path in Corrie Cruachan, and a descent on the crest of the ESE branch of the S ridge joins a track leading to the junction of the A85 with the B8077. Stob Diamh is normally approached from Drochaid Ghlas

Ben Cruachan and Stob Diamh
|
Moderate climb on mixed terrain. Ben Cruachan is an excellent mountain with a craggy summit, but no scrambling is required.

I climbed Stob Diamh with the Corbett Beinn a' Bhuiridh (a version of the Dalmally Horseshoe). The steep, pathless climb to the 641m point on Beinn a' Bhuiridh is pretty tortuous, especially under a hot sun. After that it eases a bit, with spectacular glimpses of the N-facing cliffs, though the summit itself isn't a great viewpoint. Descend very steeply N from the summit to the 730m col, then ascend to Stob Diamh on decent paths and easier ground. After a steep up and down, it's a simple descent from the 964m top back to the start. Steve Macluskie must be a fit man though - it took us 6 hours!

Climbed this as part of the "Dalmally Horseshoe". Park just round the corner at the beginning of the B8077 at the head of Loch Awe. Steep pitch up to Monadh Driselg @ 641m, contrinue east to Beinn a Bhuriidh, North to Stob Damh then continue round corrie rim NE, E then SE walking back down the Eastern shoulder of Coire Chreachainn back to the car. 5 hours at a good pace.
