The riverside path from Dubh Choirein is an ancient right of way. Today just enough people walk it to keep it clear and followable for the 6km from the hill base back to Glen Artney.

See map for Route 2 for the route start. Start along the road up-valley, to cross its bridge over Allt an Dubh Choirein. Keep ahead to a white gate with a walkers’ gate alongside.

Keep ahead (northwest) on the track past farm buildings. Pass below a plantation (which conceals Glenartney Lodge). In another 500 metres pass below a smaller and newer plantation. Now turn off left up rough grassland. The slope steepens to the plateau of Carn Labhruinn.

Turn northwest on grass and peat hags, across Carn Labhruinn and the wide col behind it. Best is to keep along the tops of the east-falling steep slopes. Stuc Gharbh is pleasant grassy going, and this continues along the 701m ridge and Stob Chalum Mhic Griogair. From the northern and main top, drop south to cross a peaty col at its highest point, then southwest up to the grassy top of Meall na Fearna.
