Mountain Description
|
|
|
Glas Bheinn Mhor is located between Stob Gabhar and Stob Coir an Albannaich. It is a steep sided hill with a craggy N face and a steep S face. The safe ascent routes are on the ridge from Ben Starav which can also be reached by the path from Coileitir by the Allt nam Mheirleach, or from the bealach between Glas Bheinn Mhor and Stob Coir an Albannaich. The shortest routes are from Glen Etive, but routes from Loch Tulla to the E are possible.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Glas Bheinn Mhor include
|
| Steep slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags on or near ascent routes. |
|

|
|

|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |

Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor
|
Moderate route on craggy mountains so good navigation skills needed particularly in poor visibility. Care needed on descent of Glas Beinn Mhor to avoid steep NNW slopes.
