This route covers two munros which lie on a fairly level range and are climbed in an east to west traverse. Starting the ridge from Carn Liath gives the walker ample time to study the splendid north bounding wall of Coire Ardair weather permitting.
Starting from the farm head to the right of the buildings following a track that leads up to Lochan a' Choire and leave the main path and follow a narrow path up the side of Na Cnapanan then onto Carn Liath. Once on the ridge after a bit a line of rusty fence marks the correct line of way for much of the way easing navigation over numerous top onto the other munro Stob Poite Coire Ardair.
Decsent is by the bealach "The Window" down to Lochan a' Choire and back on a well contructed path.
