A long 25 mile walk based around the two munros Stob a' Choire Odhair and Stob Ghabhar. I detoured to Beinn Toaig going up, visited Aonach Eagach on route and then had a walk around Sron nan Giubhas, Stob Ghabhar North Top, Aonach Mor, Creag a' Bhealaich, Sron a' Ghearrain and Stob a' Bhruaich Leith and then detoured to visit Meall an Araich on the way down, walking out via Clashgour Farm and down the valley. Every summit had completely different views and was worth visiting in it's own right, a very enjoyable day on the mountains. Notes: My previous summit was Creag a' Bhealaich so it was techincally only a 200m or so ascent to get back here but it felt more with the ups and downs. I rushed a bit here as I could see the only shower of the day blowing in, I should have gone over to the edge for the view really. /Dmeltdiceburg17/06/2023

Late arriving because of detour to Stirling for Peter's ice axe. Good forecast but mostly misty, fresh snow and one blizzard so route finding a bit tricky. Aonach Eagach ridge good fun!Capt Malbec12/02/2011
