Mountain Description
Stob Coire Sgriodain on the E shore of Loch Trieg forms a single ridge curving around Lochan Coire an Lochain. It is a craggy mountain with three tops at its S end, the more northerly being the true summit. Stob Coire Sgriodain is connected at its SE limit by a broad bealach (900m) to Meal Garbh (976m) and Chno Dearg (1046m). Normal access is from the N via Sron na Gardh-Bheinne (nose of the rough mountain) or from Chno Dearg.

The ridge just didn't deliver for me. I made a bad start and floundered around in much boggy ground at the bottom. Looking back it seemed I'd have done better to keep to the left of the left-most branch of the weirdly-branching burn more or less to the split, then contouring across. I didn't find things much better higher up though with little opportunity to get hands onto good rock and lots of annoying gullies interfering with the natural line. I'm sure it must be better in winter.

Not sure why the other contributors are raving about the merits of this hill in winter - we did it in June and apart from the boggy beginning (yes we were warned!) the walk was interesting especially when views of Loch Treig came into view. The route to Chno Dearg was even better, the two hills making an excellent Summer day.

Excellent in the winter. Ascended at a demoralising pace with some younger members of the party. Nice crags to dart around with nice scenery at every point. Near summit some crags to easily slip down on ice so be careful. Good view of Chno Dearg from summit and simple route to Chno Dearg with a rather large cairn at the summit to shelter from the wind. Descend straight down towards the car park.
