One of the Grey Corries, the pale quartzite ridge east of the Aonachs, usually taken as part of a long high-level traverse

The Grey Corries are a chain of Munros — Scottish hills over 3,000 feet (914m) — strung along a ridge east of Fort William, and Stob Coire an Laoigh is one of them at 1,117m. The name Grey Corries comes from the pale grey quartzite scree that covers the summits. Walkers usually take this top as part of the full ridge traverse rather than on its own, most often starting from Corriechoille near Spean Bridge and linking it with Stob Choire Claurigh to the north-east, the highest of the group, and Sgurr Choinnich Mor to the south-west. It’s a long, high day on narrow ground, part of the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe hills, and best saved for settled weather.
