Saturday 29th July 2006. Climbed Stob Ghabhar and Stob a' Choire Odhair from Inveroran Hotel. Took the direct "Sralkers Path" to the summit of Stob a' Choire Odhair then made my way over the ridge to Aonach Eagach and on to the summit of Stob Ghabhar. Both summits were cloud covered but dropping 50 mitres off took me below the cloud and offerd better views and easier navigation. Decended the SE ridge following a line of old fence posts back to the path on the east side of (and crossing) Allt Toaig then a gentle stroll back to Inveroran. Highlight of the day was the ascent of the Aonach Eagach

Climber Stob Ghabhar on 7 August 05 as part of the full Black Mount Traverse from Inveroran to White Corries Ski Centre, also taking in Stob a' Choire Odhair, Creise and Meall a Bhuiridh. A long 8 hour day but beautiful weather with seemingly endless views in all directions. Most difficult section was the steep 1,300ft pull up to Clach Leathad from Bealach Fuar-chathaidh on tired legs. By the end the GPS read 13.5 miles and 7,333ft total ascent and it felt like it ! A superb high level traverse.

Climbed Stob Ghabhar on 7 Aug 05 as part of the full Black Mount Traverse from Victoria Bridge to the White Corries Ski Centre taking in Stob a' Choire Odhair, Creise and Meall a' Bhuiridh on the way. A long 9 hour day but warm, clear and sunny day with endless views in all directions. Life was meant to be thus ! Hardest part was the 1300ft pull from Bealach Fuar-chathaidh, a wonderfully remote spot at the head of Coireach a' Ba, up to Clach Leathad on tired legs. GPS said 7333ft vertical climb and 13.5 miles for the whole route and it felt like it ....

...a cracking tour!..we hiked in from the lochan na h-Achlaise on the A82 to Coireach a Ba and camped for the night..next day climbed out of the corrie up to the Bealach Fuar Chathaidh and onwards over the summit of Stob Ghabhar, heavy snow fell as we got to the summit..in the middle of a sunny day!!..and the last day of May!. the views down into the Corrain Lochain were quite exceptional with sunlight dazzling back off the water. Descended the Aonach Eagach and dropped down off the ridge to camp once again by the burn in the Coire na Muic..and thence oot to Victoria Bridge..magic route!!

I climbed Stob Ghabhar and Stob a' Choire Odhair on a warm July day. I parked at Victoria Bridge but I did not hang about because I was enveloped in a Midge cloud. I headed up to Clashgour and made for the South west shoulder of Stob Ghabhar.On the day there was a climbing fatality on Ben Starav, the rescue helicopter from HMS Gannet was hovering nearby. As a lone climber these events can be a bit sobering.I headed on to the summit and continued along the Aonach Eagach ridge to Stob a' Choire Odhair. Very pleasant ridge walk. I descended via Alt Toaig and hurdled many frogs. A nice walk.
