Stob a'Choin is an impressively steep and rugged mountain as seen from Inverlochlarig, yielding nothing to its higher neighbours. Its ascent gives a rough walk more reminiscent of the Northwest Highlands than the Trossachs; the reward is a stunning view from a fine summit.

In theory the mountain could be approached via its long, broad southern ridge from the shores of Loch Katrine, but great distance and boggy terrain deter this.
