Approaching to the start point at Glen Nevis. Sgurr a'Mhaim & Stob Ban ahead

Shortly after start...the ascent does not look so bad in beginning, but it's steepy in higher level

Looking back to Glen Nevis

Stob Ban zoomed from the ascent to Sgurr a'Mhaim

Looking towards Ben Nevis and Aonach Beag

Glen Nevis

Glen Nevis again from higher level, ground changed closer to Sgurr a'Mhaim summit.

The border between clear side and fogy side - the ridge to Sgurr a'Mhaim like a barrier

Sgurr a'Mhaim summit...and misty around

The Devil's ridge ahead, there is my way to continue...

Stob Ban opposite

Looking back...The Devil's ridge - zoomed

The Guard of Stob Ban, I'm coming in peace

Towards Glen Nevis & Ben Nevis

Looking back...the Devil's ridge between Sgurr a'Mhaim and Sgor an Lubhair

on the Stob Ban summit

There is the way to the Mullach nan Coirean

a short descent from Stob Ban to connect the ridge to Mullach nan Coirean

Looking back to Stob Ban

Stob Ban again...now from a distance

the weather is getting worse and worse...misty...rainy... Time to put the camera into my rucksack

Mullach nan Coirean summit

the path down from Mullach nan Coirean

in lower level now...Ben Nevis opposite in the clouds

Read the post then did the walk, yesterday -19/9/17, with my mate Stuart in perfect sunny conditions. Brilliant day out. Superb views and a decent day's walk.

To return to the car park at Polldubh stay just to the left (west) of the new deer fence coming off Mullach nan Coirean, passing new built styles on the way. Follow the fence until you reach the style on the corner where it meets the forest, and you are right at the entrance to the path through it, back down to the forestry road and eventually the car park. Forestry works at the moment mean there is a signposted diversion along the forestry road. The signpost has a map display clearly showing the detour with directions.

Thanks for the post, route and comments; much appreciated. DD
