Mountain Description
|
|
|
Buachaille Etive Beag is one of the Glen Coe classics and its two peaks Stob Dubh and Stob Coire Raineach are generally climbed together as they are linked by a high ridge. Buachaille Etive Beag is elongated SW to NE with Stob Dubh at the SW end, furthest from the access road. Paths through the Lairig Gartain to the E and Lairig Eilde to the W are equally useful as both give easy ascents to the col just SW of Stob Coire Raineach's summit cone.

Stob Dubh and Stob Coire Raineach

A straight forward ascent from the S. A short walk through a forest then one stream to be crossed followed by a fairly steep ascent. Return through Lairig Gartain is muddy most times of the year

Climbed on 8/8/08. After descending Stob Coire Raineach and climbing the lower peak, the ridge walk to the summit of Stob Dubh was excellent, as were the views of Buachaille Etive Mor, Ben Nevis and Bidean nam Bian. Could even see Schiehallion and Ben More through the haze. A fine day out.

Climbed with Stob Coire Raineach on a great crisp early winters day. Took an alternative (and better) route by driving into Glen Etive, parking at Dalness and climbing straight up the NE ridge to Stob Dubh. A great ridge walk then along to Stob Coire Raineach before dropping back into the belach, down to the river and back SW along Lairig Gartain to the car. My bestest hillwalking day to date.

Climbed the wee Buachaille with my fiancee Siobhan on a gloomy april day 05. Starting from the Lairig Eilde a path, ( boggy in sections ) led us up to the col between Stob Dubh and Stob Coire Raineach. From here it's an enjoyable climb up to the two munros. I particularly enjoyed Stob Dubh, the ridge walk from the minor top to the summit being good fun. The weather cleared enough for us to get good views of the big Buachaille, which made our day.
