Stob Ghabhar’s other notable geographical features are its corries and cliffs. Coire Dhearbhadh which stands on the mountain’s eastern flank is ringed by sheer cliffs and contains the small lochan, Coirein Lochain. The steep headwall of this corrie contains the upper couloir, a deep gully which provides a tough scrambling route to the summit in summer and a classic ice route in winter which was first climbed in 1897. The summit stands on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the corrie.
