The "wee
Buachaille" includes one of the promoted Munros, making it two for the
day. I promised never to call it wee again, mind you, following my first
ascent of it many years ago!
Start from
the A82 road where the right of way begins for the route through the Lairig
Gartain (213 560).
Follow the
path for about 2.5 km then head up for the col between the two summits.
Most of the leg work has been done now and a relatively short ascent leads
NE to the first summit of the day, Stob Coire Raineach (peak of the coire
of bracken) at 925m.
Turn back
SW and regain the col before continuing up to an intermediate top before
reaching the level ridge leading in less than a kilometre to the highest
point of the day on Stob Dubh (958m). The cairn just past the summit provides
a good spot to stop and admire the views over Glen Etive.
To return
to the starting point, retrace your route to the col then descend the
slopes to regain the right of way path in the Lairig Gartain and so back
to the A82 road.
