Ben Starav (1078m) ascent from Glen Etive, Scottish Central Highlands.

A springtime return to Ben Starav with my four ascent of this fine peak which dominates the lower part of Glen Etive in the Scottish Central Highlands. Return from the bealach between Ben Starav and Ghlas Bheinn Mhor.

Brilliant the hydro road was not there when I climbed this Munro many years ago I hope they haven’t spoilt the area I remember it was a steep climb nice video cracking views I will have to return and climb it cheers

Thanks for watching. The old path was very rough and boggy as it approached the river, so the new track is definitely an improvement. When you next visit I would arrive early as parking is very limited. ATB Derek

Nice one Derek, lovely weather and views, I’ll defo need to revisit Starav once I’ve finished this round.
I felt rushed going over Starav as I was in a group of around 10 hikers.
Nicely edited Derek and good commentary.👍

We were lucky to get such a good day Frank, thanks for watching. Will need to revisit the outlier Ben nan Aighenhan sometime. Our descent route would be the most direct approach. ATB Derek

Nice one Derek. Lovely views and fab weather. Had two attempts at Ben Starav on our annual winter walking trips . We come up from Gloucestershire at the end of November and stay at the YHA in Glen Coe for 5 days. We've either been beaten by the weather (deep snow) or by darkness. We'll get there one day. Cheers,Ozzy.

Thanks for watching. Hopefully, it's a case of 3rd time lucky when you next attempt to reach the summit. Its definitely worth waiting for a clear day to enjoy the views. ATB Derek

A fine day for a return Derek. 😎 I've still the outlyer to do so I fancy a return to Starav. Maybe camp up there and explore it's Tops. I noticed the hydro track last year. Defo better than the boggy mess before.

We got a great day for it Kev! 👍if you ascend by our route of descent the stream goes quite far up the glen, so less climbing with all your water. Then set up camp and head out for Ben nan A! ATB Derek
