Stob Ghabhar is regarded as the finest of the four Munros of the Black Mount (the others being Stob a' Choire Odhair, Creise and Meall a' Bhuiridh), it is a large and impressive mountain with long ridges radiating from it prominent pointed summit and deep scalloped corries on its flanks. The three main ridges go east, west and north west from the highest point and have on them four lesser peaks which are listed as “tops” in the Munro Tables. The east ridge goes over the subsidiary “top” of Aonach Eagach (991 metres) before continuing to the adjoining Munro of Stob a' Choire Odhair. The western ridge is initially narrow as it traverses the crest of two opposing corries before reaching the “top” of Sròn a' Ghearrain (990 metres) after a kilometre. Stob a' Bhruaich Leith (941 metres) lies 1.5 kilometres further along the ridge which then drops down gradually towards Glen Etive. The fourth Munro Top Sròn nan Giubhas (976 metres) lies 700 metres north of the main summit along a ridge which then swings north west and descends for five kilometres to Glen Etive.
