Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin are neighbours and are among the first Munros to be seen by visitors as they journey N as they can be seen from the A9 S of Stirling. These two mountains have almost parallel SE ridges and they are connected by Bealach an Dubh Choirein. The summit of Ben Vorlich sits at the intersection of four ridges all of which offer access routes. The access path from Loch Earn, through Glen Vorlich, ascends the W face of the N ridge, but the NW ridge to Ben Our offers an alternative route to join the same path. The SW ridge connects to Stuc a' Chroin and the long SE ridge can be ascended from Gleann Dubh Choirein. The path through this glen joins the path from Glen Artney to Callander, offering longer routes for walkers.

A great climb - one of the few hills where you can see the summit from pretty much the start of the walk to the end. Met a couple on the way and spent most of the rest of the day with them. Weather clouded over, much to our relief as it had been very warm until then. Didn't dwell at the summit, headed on to the Bealach and prepared for Stuc a' Chroin.
A faboulous walk.

Climbed as part of a double with Stuc a Chroin. Straightforward ascent from Loch Earn, great views across to its' rocky neighbour. Bridge still conspicuous by its absence!
