Mountain Description
|
|
|
An Stuc has a steep sided conical peak and three ridges, the S ridge leads to Ben Lawers via Creag an Fhithich, the W ridge to Meall Garbh. The long N ridge leads down into Fin Glen and on to Glen Lyon. The terrain is mostly grass with rock outcrops, but there are crags on the NE face of the summit and on the lower SE slopes overlooking Lochan nan Cat. The normal routes of ascent are the ridges from Ben Lawers and Meall Garbh.

Easy day starting from 460m on well maintained paths and continuing on moderate grass slopes. There is a broad eroded path on Beinn Ghlas, a similar path on Ben Lawers. An Stuc is less frequently climbed.

Ben Lawers, An Stuc, Meall Garbh [Lawers region], Beinn Ghlas and Meall Greigh
|
Ridge walk with a fair bit of up & down. Quite a streneous route with some easy scrambling. On paths for the majority of way, can be crowded between Ben Lawers & NT visitors centre. Need for second car or hitching (leave early) due to diff start/fin point

Climbed on 20/07/08 after an ascent of Beinn Ghlas and then Ben Lawers. The descent to Creag an Fhithich was straightforward enough, as was the descent to the Bealach Dubh. The ascent of An Stuc took less time than expected, and I was glad to have reached this one from the south. My day ended here, and I re-ascended Ben Lawers before taking the path round Beinn Ghlas. A fine day out with my first ever triple Munros!

As part of second Lawers massif attempt, sadly Siri came a cropper on the last 30M of descent from this peak in icy terrain and blizzard conditions, heavily bruising his back and ankles. Due to the intense pain, the expedition again had to be abandoned and escape made down to Lochan nan Cat from whence ensued a hellish struggle through the freezing dark
back to the main road to flag down some assistance. B*****d mountain!!!!

Loved this climb easy to the summit from Lawers then couldn,t find the descent down the East face. Picked a route down and stuck with it, bit hairy in places due to iced over grass and
snow spots. Great wee scramble. Marty shat himself...hehe!
