Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob Binnein has a pointed summit at the N of a 3km long sloping ridge which terminates to the S at Stob Invercarnaig overlooking the Braes of Balquidder. To the N Stob Binnein joins Ben More at Bealach-eadar-dha Beinn giving an access route from Ben More, Benmore Glen to the N and Inverlochlarig Glen to the S. SSE of the Stob Binnein summit is a minor top, Stob Coire an Lochain (1068m), to the E of which is a broad Bealach from where ridges run NE and SE. The SE ridge gives an alternative descent to the S. The main route from the S is straight up Stob Invercarnaig for a long easy walk to the summit.

Ben More [Crianlarich] and Stob Binnein
|
Initial ascent is unrelenting on continuous steep grass slope, but more pleasant once you have reached the first summit. This is the shortest but not the best route for these mountains.

Climbed on Wednesday 29 October 2008
Nice start to the day from Inverlochlarig but no sun. Fair scramble up wet slopes/path. Once up on top ridge the lovely clear day turned extremely misty. Lots of nice thick snow, but it was so cold that my bottled juice had turned to slush. I'm glad the thermals were on. I nearly fell a good few times. Have to get myself crampons and ice pick. Got some nice photos. Could not see 10 feet, let alone Ben More. Returned by same route. My knees where tweaking on the steep descent. Ben More will have to be climbed another day.

Started the ascent from Inverlochlairg and immediately felt the pressure, its a tough vertical approach to the top of Stob Invercarnaig which seriously kicked my butt. The walking got a little easier after the initial 800 or so meters with the final 50 or so meters the only concerning point, this part of the hill was very icy and without crampons or axe was pretty frightening, the first 100 meters of the descent on the north side was also pretty icy until the Bealach which offered a fairly gentle descent to Inverlochairg Glen and a 7 or 8k walk back to the car park in stunning sunshine.

Climbed on 8/8/07 after ascending Ben More. The descent to the Bealach was fairly straightforward, as was the ascent to Stob Binnein, although it was a lot further than it initially appeared. Clear at the top and the views were wonderful. The descent into Benmore Glen was a real slog, though. Combined with Ben More this was a great (if a little long) day out.
