Hiking

Stob Ghabhar is a 1,090m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. I climbed it with Stob a' Choire Odhair in August 2019. It was a day of sunshine and showers so I was treated to a lovely rainbow on the descent.

Hiking

We cycled in from the Victoria Bridge car park to the Clashgour hut which reduced the walk by about a mile each way. Great 360 views across to Cruachan,Paps of Jura, Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Mamores etc etc

Running

The ridge connecting Aonach Eagach and Stob Ghabhar is a classic, but care and experience is needed due to the technical terrain, sheer face and large drops.

The summit of Stob Ghabhar (1090m) offers far-reaching views to the West Coast, over alpine-style scenery. Route options from here are Aonach Eagach to the East, Stob a'Bruiaich to the North, or an initially pathless route down the hill, initially aiming for Meall an Araich. On this route as you approach a saddle in the hills, you will pick up a double-track that offers a quicker / easier route towards Loch Tulla.
