The Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin is a 1105 meter high mountain classified as Munro in Scotland . Its Gaelic name roughly means the tip of the middle kars . It is located on the west coast in the Council Area Highland east of Fort William .
Together with the neighboring Munro Stob Coire Easain and some lower upstream mountains, the Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin forms an independent mountain range east of the Gray Corries , separated from them by the Lairig Leacach . Along Loch Treig , the mountain range, which is also known as the Easains after its highest peak , runs roughly eight kilometers in length in a north-south direction. The Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin is connected to the neighboring Stob Coire Easain to the southwest by a 970 meter high Bealach , both of which form a prominent double peak that towers over Loch Treig and is visible from afar. In the summit area of Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin is rocky and craggy penetrated, first in deeper areas it falls a bit flat into Lairig Leacach from. Compared to its slightly higher neighbor, its summit is slightly more rounded. The main ridge of the mountain range leads from the summit to the northeast. Another ridge leads to the southeast, between this and the main ridge, the Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin drops steeply and rocky to Loch Treig to the east in the Coire Meadhon .
Access options are mainly via the ridges leading to the summit. Most Munro excavators climb the Stob a 'Choire Mheadhoin together with the Stob Coire Easain in the course of crossing the summit. The starting and ending point is the small settlement of Fersit north of Loch Treig on the West Highland Line . From there, the ascent leads over the 792 meter high Meall Cian Dearg , the northernmost summit of the chain, and further over the main ridge to the summit of Stob Coire Easain. Further approaches are possible from the Lairig Leacach or the Coire Laire via the north ridge of the Stob Coire Easain and from the south, starting at the south end of Loch Treig. The starting point from this direction is Corrour station on the West Highland Line.
