NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

  Description
A remote hill, Stob Mhic Bheathain lies in Ardgour between Cona Glen and Gleann an Lochain Dubh and forms a long undulating ridge between the two Glens.

Whilst it is uniformly steep on the SW side above Gleann an Lochain Dubh, each top on the ridge offers craggy ridges to the NE towards Cona Glen.

The A861 road at the E end of Cona Glen provides the nearest access, but this is still some considerable distance from the foot of the hill.

Hazards you may encounter on Stob Mhic Bheathain include
 Remote Mountain navigate with care.
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
