Stob Dearg is the northern summit of Buachaille Etive Mor, the steep pyramid at the meeting of Glen Coe and Glen Etive. At 1021m (3350ft), with 532m of prominence, it is a Munro and a Marilyn. The ridge runs south-west from it to Stob na Doire (1011m), 1.8km away, and Stob Coire Altruim (939m), 2.8km away. Creise, the nearest higher hill, is 3.9km to the south-east.
The walkers' route starts at Altnafeadh on the Glen Coe road and climbs Coire na Tulaich, a steep corrie whose path ends in a loose, rocky scree slope below the ridge. From the top of the corrie the route turns east along the ridge to the summit. Scramblers use Curved Ridge, a classic grade three scramble on the face above the Rannoch Moor side.
The headwall of Coire na Tulaich is a known avalanche and cornice risk in winter and has seen many accidents. In cloud, take care to find the top of the corrie on the way down.
