From here, you are afforded beautiful views of Stob Dearg, the seemingly unassailable rocky fortress that makes up the termination of Buachaille Etive Mòr. There are a few options for summiting this imposing crag, the easiest involves a tough walk with minimal scrambling and the difficulty then ramps up with a number of epic trad climbing routes up the face itself.
