Long but enjoyable route. Rather than retracing my steps back the way I came I scrambled / slid bown the screes to the col conecting Stob Ban with Stob Choire Claurigh and then climed to the summit a climb of about 300 m then the North ridge all the way back to the forestry fence and back onto the Lairigh path back to Choriechoille
