Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob Coire Easain and Stob a' Choire Mheadhion (1105m) are located on a 8km long ridge, seperated by a high col (960m) and, consequently, are climbed together. Stob Coire Easain has one other ridge NNE which is craggy on its N flank. To the E of the main ridge the slopes, overlooking Loch Treig, are craggy in places but there are easy slopes down to Creagan a Chaise (723m), whereas those to the W are rocky just below the summits but then easier terrain leads down to the Lairig Leacach. Normal access is from Stob a' Choire Mheadhion or from Coire Laire via the ridge N of the summit.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Stob Coire Easain include
|
| Crags on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
| Scrambling (minor), easy hand and footholds. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |
