West towards Ben Lui from high up on the NW side of Ben More.

There’s a summit somewhere under all this.

Looking north

Ben Lawers and Loch Tay

Looking over the dip to Stob Binnein.

A 300m descent brought us down to the Bealach-eadar-dha-Beinn, which meant a 300 m pull up the other side to the summit of Stob Binnein.
North to Ben More from Stob Binnein summit.

Descent down the south ridge of Stob Binnein.




Looking back along the south ridge.

As we descended below the snow line a lovely view opened up towards Loch Voil and Ben Vorlich.

From here we headed south until the slope steepens at about 700m then crosses a stile in a fence at about 600m. There were a few crags which were easily avoided and a deep stream gully which can be avoided by staying to the west/RHS as you descend the slope. The steepness meant we were quickly down at the roadside and a quick hop over a stile brought us to the car park near Inverlochlarig. What a day!
Jawnee’s view: Great route to do if you can arrange the transport. Stiff ascents rewarded by fantastic views. This could also be done south to north - the ascent of Stob Binnein’s south ridge under snow is a lovely route. This way may be easier as you avoid the direct ascent of Ben More.
