Stob Coire Creagach (Binnein an Fhidhleir), Butterbridge
Stob Coire Creagach is the highest summit of Binnein an Fhidhleir - the latter being the original name of the whole mountain, although walkers often use it to refer to the lower western summit. The mountain impressively walls in the north side of Glen Kinglas. It gives a short hillwalk but with a truly gruelling and unremittingly steep ascent. The views from the ridge are simply superb.
Terrain
Wet ground at first then drier slopes of grass and rock. The ascent is extremely steep and pathless higher up.
Public Transport
None to start.
Start
Butterbridge car park, A83.
