I've been wanting to do these hills for a good while with them as add ons to The Ring of Steall however I never ever made a genuine plan to get this done.
A friend of mine had been asking me all summer to take her out walking with me but our timetables never synchronised until the past weekend.
She's done a number of Munros and is a very fit active person so I was a little worried that I may end up embarrassing myself on this walk but everything turned out ok.
Having recently bought a new car she wanted to drive...bonus! We left Glasgow around 7am and got to the car park in Glen Nevis just after 9 with a wee stop in Glen Coe to admire the incredible morning light, my phone snaps do no justice to how incredibly beautiful it was.
An amazing morning in Glen Coe
Yep
New walking buddyWe found the car park and managed to get a space...luckily. It felt more like a caravan park with the number of motor homes parked up.
Start of the walkThe path is fine and fairly easy going for the first wee while a bit wet in places as you might expect. We did come across a rather unpleasant scramble at one point which hadn't seen mentioned in any reports I read. It was a large wet flat rock face with 2 streams of water coming down it. The path lead us right to it so I'm sure we hadn't gone wrong, anyway, with a few carefully placed steps we were up and over it with myself only suffering from a wet fleece sleeve.
Looking up Glen NevisWe kept up a decent pace, my pal had 2 watch things to keep track of her time, kilometers, steps etc so I guess I never really had the choice to go slow
Actually, this brisk pace was fine with me because it was cold in the shade of the mountains. The high contrast was also a bugger for taking pictures.
A first good look at Stob Ban
Looking back to Fort William
Still a wee way to goOnce we reached the bealach the sunlight was welcome, it was warm
but the views were south were great.
Bealach reached, views amazingA first proper glimpse of Sgurr a'Mhaim and the Devils Ridge. The Devils Ridge doesn't looks so bad...
Sgurr a'Mhaim
Still plenty of up to go
Why do young people do this?

First look at Mullach nan CoireanThere's a few minor scrambles on the final accent but nothing at all difficult, the path does get pretty close to the ridge at a couple of points so be careful in cloudy conditions
and if you don't fancy looking over the edge you can easily avoid these bits.
Atop of Stob Ban
No words
A last snap before leaving Stob BanWe left Stob Ban on and it's annoying white rocky top and headed for the brick red path around the corries to our next Munro. The contrast in colours was exceptional, I'd seen it in pictures and video footage but there's nothing like the real thing.
Looking back up at the other side of Stob Ban
A well named hill
A wee ridge walkThe walk around the ridge was fine, a few wee scrambley bits but ahain, nothing hard. The last pull to the summit caught me out, I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath as they say.
The summit cairn was very impressive

Goodbye Mamores...for today. I'll be back
Ach, young people 
The walk off Mulloch nan Coirean was ok at first but got progressively more difficult because of the badly eroded path that follows the deer fence before getting very boggy the las 50 meters or so before the fence crossing point. Once you've crossed the fence it's a far better walk on a firm path then decent forestry road back to the where the car was parked.
The path down is rough
The path gets pretty boggy about here
Looking up Glen NevisGreat walk with good company. I can't wait to get back to this area again.
Oh, as we were leaving the car park we noticed a pay and display box. We completely missed it on the way in so we didn't pay. Oops
