Mountain Description
|
|

The conical summit of Stob Ban is located at the intersection of three ridges. The narrow SW ridge connects to Meall Bhuirich (841m) by a high col (750m), and the NNW ridge links to Stob Coire Claurigh, by an higher col (800m), permit ting these mountains to be climbed together. The third ridge runs NE and is the normal access route from Lairig Leacach. The slopes are moderate and stony but there are crags N and E of the summit.

The forest on the track to the Lairig Leacach is currently being felled. Parking at Corriechoille is suspended to allow lorry access. A notice recommends parking two miles further back.
Beyond the bothy there is a new footbridge across the Allt a’ Chuil Choirean, leading to the north-east ridge. The path by-passes the top at 750 metres on its west side. There are
no quartzite rocks to impede progress.
If ascending by the coire, the path follows the north side of the burn. At a large boulder, when the climbing begins, keep well to the left. Pass a sloping rocky slab on the right, then a rocky gorge, then ascend behind a grassy slope on a stony path with zig-zags. This route comes out at a small col 300 metres to the south of the lochan. The final climb begins immediately on rough quartzite all the way to the summit.
