About Ben More
Ben More reaches 1,174m (3,852ft) east of Crianlarich, the highest summit in this part of the Southern Highlands. It is a big, steep-sided cone that rises straight from Glen Dochart. Stob Binnein lies 1.7km to the south across a deep col. It is a Munro, a Marilyn and a county top.
The direct route starts at Benmore Farm on the Crianlarich to Killin road and climbs the steep north-west slope to the summit. It is a long, relentless climb with no easy angle. Many walkers continue south to the Bealach-eadar-dha Beinn and up Stob Binnein, then descend back to Benmore Glen.
In winter the steep north and east slopes hold hard snow and have seen fatal accidents. Treat it as a winter climb, with ice axe and crampons.
Ben More is 1,174 m (3,851 ft) high with 986 m of prominence. It is in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, Scotland. It is the highest of the 192 summits Peakify lists in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
