Area: Stob Ban, Scotland
Maps used: OS Sheet 41
Weather: Very cold, sunny all the time, 0.5ft+ of snow
Route Description: Started from the car park up on Glen Nevis (NN146684). From the car park, followed a route directly south, climbing the spur that leads to Stob Ban (note this is not the track present in the OS map, which leads slightly southeast). We've climbed directly from the north spur that extends for over a kilometer all the way down, but there are numerous and more interesting routes if you are coming from the northeast face. After reaching the summit at 999m (after some simple scrambling), we descended to a col at NN146658 and then proceeded west along the ridge that winds southwest to a 917m summit (NN131655) and then northwest to Mullach nan Coirean (939m). Continued descending along the spur to the north and then turned northeast towards the forest, eventually joining the forest track that leads back to the road and to the car park. This is a great horseshoe climb, with stunning views of Ben Nevis on a bright day.
Duration: 7 hours
Distance: 10.5km
Total Ascent: 1,075m
