Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob a' Choire Mheadhion and Stob Coire Easain (1115m) to the SW are located on a 8km long ridge, separated by a high col (960m) and, consequently, are climbed together. In addition to the main ridge, Stob a' Choire Mheadhion has a SE ridge, which is craggy on its N flank, leading down to Loch Treig . To the E of the main ridge the slopes, overlooking Loch Treig, are steep and frequently craggy, whereas those to the W are craggy/rocky just below the summits but easier terrain lower down leads to Coire Laire. Normal access is from Creag Fhiaclach along the crest of the ridge or from Stob Coire Easain

From Fersit follow the track leading towards Loch Treig. Near the dam a new track leads a short distance uphill on to the moorland. From here there is a choice of boggy tracks leading
to the survey pillar on the skyline. A very clear path takes a direct route over Meall Cian Dearg but it is being steadily eroded.

Climbed this in high winds and fog on September 13th, 2003. Very straightforward, even in thick mist, although the path is faint in a few places. I recommend retracing the outward route in wet weather as it is very boggy if descending from the col.
