About Stob Coire Easain West Top
Not to be confused with its 1,115m Munro 'twin' nearby, this 662m Graham is the discerning hiker's choice for avoiding crowds. Nestled near the Lairig Leacach, it provides a superb, low-stress grandstand seat for viewing the far more aggressive Grey Corries without the vertical punishment.
