Stuc a'Chroin

Stuc a'Chroin is an munro in Scotand and is located in the area Loch Lomond to Loch Tay as defined by SMC (and lies in region known as Loch Earn )

Stùc a' Chroin is a mountain located in the southern part of the Highlands of Scotland. It lies to the south of Ben Vorlich, which is itself bounded to the north by Loch Earn, and to the west by Loch Lubnaig. The boundary between the council areas of Perth and Kinross and Stirling passes through the summit of the peak, and the town of Callander lies to the south.

Stùc a' Chroin is most often climbed in conjunction with Ben Vorlich from Ardvorlich to the north. There are two normal routes of ascent. The first is over the summit of Ben Vorlich and followed by a descent of that mountain's south west ridge to the Bealach an Dubh Choirein. The second skirts around the north east ridge of Ben Vorlich and traverses to the Bealach an Dubh Choirein. From this bealach the simplest ascent to the summit cairn is via a rough path that cuts up the northern coire of Stùc a'Chroin. A steeper alternative ascends the eastern coire.

An alternative, but longer route of ascent to Stùc a'Chroin from Arivurichardich ascends the mountain's south east ridge.
