Steep scenic Stob a' Choin

Started the walk from Inverlochlarig where i met a couple of guys at the car park that were doing the same walk. Both keen hillwalkers, not just climbing the Corbett, but also the top Meall Reamhar. We decided to walk together exchanging hillwalking stories as we went. We walked along the track before crossing the bridge and then decided what route to take up as we had 3 or 4 options. We decided to make our way across where we would gain it's north ridge about three quaters of the way up, from here a short pull and we were on the summit. There are two cairns with the south one being the summit we think. The views are tremendous and although a steep climb it's a short day out. Once on the summit we had a bite to eat before Jim & Doug headed for their top. I descended a slightly differant route, heading east initially then north towards the bridge and track back to the start.
