Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
1116 m (3661 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

 Description
Stob Coire an Laoigh is located in the middle of the Grey Corries Ridge. It has a triangular summit and slopes of boulder and scree, with some crags.

There are three ridges, the NE ridge connects to Caisteal (1106m) and the NW to Stob Coire Easain (1080), from where easy slopes lead over Beinn na Socaich down to Coire Choimlidh and the third ridge SE leads to Glen Nevis which offers an alternative ascent route.

 Stony/rocky Slopes on or near ascent routes.
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Narrow Ridges, with exposure.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
