Ring of Steall from Glen Nevis

The Ring of Steall is a real classic mountain route combining the traverse of four Munros with scrambling along narrow, rocky arêtes. The route takes in An Gearanach, Stob Choire a Chairn, Am Bodach and then follows The Devils Ridge to Sgurr a'Mhaim.

From Glen Nevis we will follow the valley by the Waters of Nevis and climb to the impressive Steall Falls, a 400ft cascade. We will cross the cable bridge here and climb the steep northern slopes to the summit of An Gearanach, our first Munro of the day.

The ridge continues south over the narrow ridge of An Garbhanach before climbing again to the summit of Stob Coire a' Chairn with it's great views across the Grey Corries.

A gentle descent from Stob Coire a' Chairn brings us to the rocky ascent to Am Bodach (The Old Man).

The easy western descent from Am Bodach leads too a short climb over Sgor an Iubhair (now no longer considered a Munro in it's own right). The ridge now leads north, a narrow arête known as The Devils Ridge which leads to the final summit of the day, Sgurr a'Mhaim, and probably the best viewpoint.

The north western slopes of Sgurr a'Mhaim provide an easy path down to the valley and a walk back either along the roadside or riverside path back to the start point.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
