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 |

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).

Stob Coire Easain and Stob a' Choire Mheadhion (1105m) are located on a 8km long ridge, separated 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. |

Relatively easy route with little scrambling required but with some steep ascents. There is little exposure.
