Mountain Description
Buachaille Etive Beag is one of the Glen Coe classics and its two peaks Stob Dubh and Stob Coire Raineach are 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. The N aspects of this mountain are steep and craggy but paths through the Lairig Gartain to the E and Lairig Eilde to the W give easy ascents to the col just SW of Stob Coire Raineach's summit cone.

Climbed on 8/8/08. The ascent to the col was pretty steep, but straightforward (boggy parts aside). The final ascent to the rocky summit was fairly easy. A quick bite and back down for the other half of the "wee bookil".

The path from the A82 Lairig Eilde car-park is superb all the way to the bealach from the car-park. Makes the ascent of this Munro fantastically easy for a great reward of brilliant views. Highly recommended for inexperienced Munro climbers.

From beehive cairn on A82, new car park at start of Lairig Eilde and well constructed path to near bealach starts a third of the way up, after boggy initial section.
