From Glencoe we will climb the steep southern slopes of the valley on good paths into the wonderful Coire Nan Lochan, a wonderfuly enclosed valley full of waterfalls and great views.

Our route climbs out of the valley to the west, climbing above Pinnacle Buttress to the summit of Stob Coire Nan Lochan before following the fine ridge south to the summit of Bidean Nam Bian, the highest summit of the day and a wonderful viewpoint over the high mountains of Scotland, with good views north to Ben Nevis and Anoach Eagach.

From the summit of Bidean Nam Bian we will follow the ridge east, following the ridge above the Lost Valley Buttress to climb to the summit of Stob Coire Sgreamhach, our second munro of the day.
