Detailed route description and map

Circuit of Coire nan Cat

Other routes and challenges

The route given can easily by extended to take in Ben Lawers, descending initially down its eastern ridge. An Stuc could be climbed from the Ben Lawers car park, though unless intent on a traverse you would need to climb right back over Ben Lawers.

The biggest bagging route hereabouts is a circuit of the 7 Lawers Munros as part of a horseshoe round the Allt a'Chobhair from Camusvrachan in Glen Lyon.
