On long but superb traverse of The Grey Corries | Mark Sims | 25/08/2021 |
I parked at the end of the private track south of Coire Choille Farm at 10am. I followed the track to the small Bothy then turned west up the valley lost the path before climbing the head wall to the col. up steep scree to Stob Ban. Then up and over Stob Choire Claurigh,the intervening tops which were still snow covered in places to Stob Coire an Laoigh. I thought about taking in Sgurr Mhic Choinnich but decided I was tired enough so followed the ridge down to the dam and the tram line to the car. Time taken 7 hours 40 minutes for 14.66 miles. | isabelle | 01/06/2021 |
Brilliant but tough day out with Brian Smith, weather great but hard under foot with boulders. 
Grey Corries route | Kevthecat | 27/05/2021 |
Solo clockwise route covering the three Grey Corries - mix of clag and blue skies during the day, and a recent layer of wet/unstable snow on the ridge - not enough to make B3s and crampons worthwhile but careful footing in places made for a slow pace above 800m. 8h 30m from car back to car. | mproudfoot | 28/11/2020 |
Solo. Poor visibility, raining. Stob Ban & Grey Corries (Stob Choire Claurigh, Stob Coire an Laoigh, Sgurr Choinnich Mor) | Huwel | 21/10/2020 |
I had a very long but great day on the Grey Corries circuit, parking at the end of the private track south of Coire Choille Farm at 9am, then following the walkhighlands route up the horibly boggy slope to the 1st Munro Top of Stob Coire na Gaibhre (958m). I detoured off the route (spending an hour) to bag the 2nd Munro Top of Stob Coire na Ceannain (1123m). Then back to the main ridge and up the 1st Munro of Stob Choire Claurigh (1177m). Further along i crossed over the 3rd, 4th & 5th Munro Tops of Stob a' Choire Leith (1105m), Stob Coire Cath na Sine (1079m) & Caisteal (1106m). The ridge then leading to the 2nd Munro of Stob Coire an Laoigh (1117m), followed by the 6th Munro Top of Stob Coire Easain (1080m). From here madness took over and i continued over to the oulying 3rd Munro of Sgurr Choinnich Mor (1094m). 
 
From where I had to reascend the 6th Munro Top (reaching the summit again at 18:00), to reach the 7th Munro Top of Beinn na Socaich (1005m). 
From here ive never descende | chillyman8 | 23/09/2020 |

Full winter conditions. Deep virgin snow, thick mist, zero visibility and dead calm. Fab day out. The last bit along the ridge from the xMT took one hour. Crazy! Thanks to Brian R for egging us on! | Play2End | 20/01/2016 |
Cloud at 800 meters and highish winds. No problems, but that was about to begin with the ridge. | Jhimmy | 05/10/2015 |

Grey Corries traverse plus Stob Ban. | rhalstead | 25/06/2015 |
Arrived from Stob Ban up snow field making the climb easy and swift. 
 
Arriving on the ridge was a delight and we broke out the ice axes as a precautionary gesture to traverse ridge beyond experiencing spectacular sun drenched views of the Aonach nor and Ben Nevis in the distance.. There were cornices both sides and a sharp ridge of snow along the top. | david.walker40 | 09/05/2015 |
with the PCMs. Very very windy and lost ice axe on way down. Did stob ban first . | slynch | 13/04/2015 |
