  Description
The steep and craggy W slopes of Stob an Aonaich Mhoir face Beinn Bheoil and Ben Alder across Loch Ericht. The hill is elongated NNE to SSW (parallel at the loch) and has a single spur on its E slopes to Carn Dearg. The E slopes are much more gentle and with the exception of Carn Dearg are crag free.

Stob an Aonaich Mhoir is normally climbed with Beinn Mholach (Corbett) and the pair can be accessed from Bridge of Ericht on Loch Rannoch, to the S, or from Dalnaspidal Lodge on the A9 to the NE.

General Considerations

The bridge over the Allt Ghlas at 524639 is no more. You can cross further up stream but if in spate I suggest you wait until the road crosses the stream about 4Km further on. I recommend you keep this for a clear day as the excellent summit vista redeems what is a pretty mundane outing.
