NN2707141878 Use the car park just before the bridge to Forest Lodge. Cross this on foot, and once among the lodge buildings go left on a track through pines. This leads into open ground beside the Abhainn Shira, passing a forestry plantation on the right. Around 2km from the lodge is a private club hut.

NN2513843964 Here turn right off the track onto an obvious path following the Allt Toaig. Where the main burn is met by another flowing out of Coire na Muic cross the main stream and follow the east bank of this tributary. The rocks beside the impressive waterfall can be scrambled direct, or skirted on the right via a rough path. Above this the slope eases into the boggy floor of Coire na Muic. The north rim of this corrie is the Aonach Eagach ridge; to your right, the obvious terminal nose of the ridge provides an optional slabby (but quite difficult) scramble. To avoid that just stay left of the crags, heading roughly north up steep grass and scree to reach the ridge crest. Turn left and follow the knobbly ridge, with Stob Ghabhar’s corrie headwall becoming steadily more dramatic as you climb. It's not got the high excitement of its more celebrated namesake, but this ‘Notched Ridge’ is not lacking in entertainment. Just beyond a minor top the crest narrows into an exposed arête with some light scrambling; sadly it doesn't last long. A short steeper plod then brings you to Stob Ghabar's summit.

NN2301145490 Descend around the curving rim of the corrie, initially north-northwest on stony ground and then more northeast to climb over a grassy minor summit and pick up the Sròn nan Giubhas ridge. Descend this eastwards, with a short awkward section on mossy rock requiring some care. After this the ground gets easier, and though the ridge continues down towards Rannoch Moor it is soon quit for a descent into the corrie - look for a fan-shaped grassy slope that offers a good line between the crags. Reach the corrie’s secluded floor at a boggy levelling just downstream of the lochan.

NN2394646231 Hop over the burn above a slabby waterslide, then climb onto the wide saddle between Aonach Eagach and Stob a’ Choire Odhair. From here a quick return towards Victoria Bridge is obviously possible, but why not do Stob a' Choire Odhair first? This fairly unremarkable Munro is easily climbed on a well trodden path up the broad west ridge.

NN2572645979 To descend go roughly southwest over rocky ground to pick up an excellent stalker's path zigzagging down the mountain's grassy southern spur. Once back on the Allt Toaig path just retrace your steps home.
