Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob a'Choin is a compact craggy mountain with relatively steep slopes and many rocky outcrops. There are two main tops, Stob a'Choin to the W and an un-named top to the E (estimated 835m). Stob a'Choin has a double top, and it is the S top which is the true summit. The normal access is from the road by the River Larig to the N.

My self-portraits turned out to be rubbish, so here are my walking poles at the small summit cairn.

This is one STEEP hill! Set off from Inverlochlarig and after crossing the bridge I headed southwest uphill (the least steep part of the day). Crossed the downhill stream just after climbing over a gate and the rest of the day was a relentless slog - first to the 630m plateau, then the (seemingly) sheer ascent of the final north ridge. Gave the north top a miss (clouds hiding the views anyway) and found the summit cairn to be disappointingly small. If there is a steeper hill in the Southern Highlands then I'd like to meet it. Oh - an enjoyable day regardless.
