Stob Ban and the Grey Corries from Coire Choille. 21 mile route. | liljonb | 09/07/2022 |
Solo - parked by the bridge before Corriechoille as I didn't want to risk my lowered car on the track beyond. Long walk in to the bothy (~6miles) took 1h 55min, ascent up to the 769 point was fine, though path was icy. Ascent from there required spikes and axe on icy snow. Blue skies and sun, but well below freezing up top. Summit 3h 25min after leaving car, back to bothy just over an hour later, then long walk out to car. Total time, 6h 15min. | mproudfoot | 05/03/2022 |
I parked at the end of the private track south of Coire Choille Farm at 10am. I followed the track to the small Bothy then turned west up the valley lost the path before climbing the head wall to the col. up steep scree to Stob Ban. Then up and over Stob Choire Claurigh,the intervening tops which were still snow covered in places to Stob Coire an Laoigh. I thought about taking in Sgurr Mhic Choinnich but decided I was tired enough so followed the ridge down to the dam and the tram line to the car. Time taken 7 hours 40 minutes for 14.66 miles. | isabelle | 01/06/2021 |
Brilliant but tough day out with Brian Smith, weather great but hard under foot with boulders.

Second summit of the day after Stob Choire Claurigh, descent and re-ascent presented no difficulties on unfrozen snow - in thick cloud at this point. Then in dark, from Lochan, followed Allt a'Chuil Choirean down to the bothy - tricky terrain as unable to identify a path in the dark. Cloud cleared and long walkout on the track north in light of full moon | wychwood | 21/12/2018 |
