Despite there being multiple single day routes that give access to the Munros north of Glen Kinglass, it is arguably more adventurous to combine them into a single outing over several days, allowing some more remote terrain to be travelled. The route can be nicely split over two or more days with a multitude of wild camping sites available. A clear highlight of the route is the camp beside Loch Dochard. Alternative start and end points could be used but the route described here aims to maximise the variety.

Terrain:
Paths exist for some sections but parts of the route are over pathless ground.
Seasonal variations:
In winter the route finding may be significantly more challenging, and there's some steep ground requiring care - on Stob coir an Albannaich for instance. The east ridge of Ben Starav and the Aonach Eagach ridge of Stob Ghabhar both take on a mountaineering feel in winter conditions.
