Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob Coire Sgreamach and Bidean nam Bian are two peaks about 1km apart on a ridge running NW to SE from Glen Coe to Glen Etive. Collectively they have three ridges, running NE, the steep rocky ends, which dominate Glen Coe, are called The Three Sisters. The long NE ridge of Stob Coire Sgreamhach is named Beinn Fhada and together with Gearr Aonach, of Bidean nam Bian, it encloses the beautiful Coire Gabhail or Lost Valley. To the NW Stob Coire Sgreamhach meets with Bidean nam Bian at a col, which offers a steep and difficult ascent from Coire Gabhail. An easier ascent from this corrie is to the col between Stob Coire nan Lochan and Bidean nan Bian. A third route from Coire Gabhail is to scramble up the steep rocky slope from the rocky crest of Beinn Fhada. An ascent of Beinn Fhada can be made to the col SW of its 811m top, by scrambling up the steep slope to the SW of a deep gully leading to the col.

Excellent day, felt fit and up for it from the very beginning. Started up Stob Corrie nan Lochan, nice bit of scrambling up to the lochens where your met with a cathedral of rock. Absolutely stunning and apparently excellent for ice climbing (next winter!). The lochens plateau gave the old legs a wee rest, over Stob Corrie nan Lochen and an easy scramble down and back up to Bidean. Lunch at top then onto Sgreamhach. Walked around the upper rim of The Lost Valley was amazing on a crystal clear day. Tough decent off Sgreamhach down the col on red scree down to the lost valley. Great day.

This is an outstanding walk, whether incorporating Bidean nam Bian via Stob Corrie nan Lochan, or on its own via the Lost Valley (the former being the best route!). Ensure you complete the round by traversing the ridge of Beinn Fhada. It is a most enjoyable walk with interesting and relatively easy scrambling on one or two sections, although the scramble coming down the rock face off the summit could be very tricky in winter - full kit required! Traverse the first two tops of Beinn Fhada and just prior to the last one, a significant gash runs down to the valley. Stay on the LHS to the end.
