The ridge curves right – follow the crest or use a grass path down right – to a second Munro Top, Stob an Cul Choire. On the left now is the rocky face of Aonach Beag, with its classic North-East Ridge showing well (Diff, with pinnacles, popular in winter with those undiscouraged by the long walk in).

On Stob an Cul Choire, approaching Aonach Mor

A rocky but not difficult ridge leads down west to a col. The slope ahead looks intimidating but is OK. Fairly steep grass heads straight up towards a tower of reddish granite. Either head up this grass, or find some easy, scrappy scrambling (Grade 1) immediately to the right.

Once at the base of the reddish tower, head round to its right, then slant back up left to reach its top. Now a small zigzag path heads up the spurline, reaching the plateau about 50 metres east of the summit cairn on Aonach Mor.

SAFETY NOTE OF DESCENDING THIS ROUTE

The spur top is only visible from the plateau edge, so in mist take a bearing from Aonach Mor’s cairn or use the GPS reading: NN 1944 7295.
