About Stuc a' Chroin
Stuc a' Chroin stands south-west of Ben Vorlich on the high ground between Loch Earn and Callander. It reaches 973m (3192ft) and is a Munro and a Marilyn. Ben Vorlich (985m), the nearest higher hill, is 1.9km to the north-east, and Beinn Each (811m) is 2.3km to the south-west.
Most walkers climb it from Ardvorlich on the south shore of Loch Earn, going up Ben Vorlich first by its north ridge and then descending to the bealach between the two. From the bealach the north-east buttress of Stuc a' Chroin rears up as a steep buttress. A scrambling line goes straight up, and a path to the right avoids the hardest ground. The return goes back over the bealach and around the flank of Ben Vorlich.
The buttress is steep and loose in places, and in winter it is serious. In cloud, the route off Stuc a' Chroin needs careful navigation.
