Takeoff description
Although the walk from the parking area to the usual take off area is short, there’s no denying it is rather brutal, requiring 2500ft of ascent in 2.4km! The path is well marked and leads up past the plantation into Coire an Laoigh. Once in the coire proper the way up is obvious and it tackles the steep western slopes of the coire directly, before emerging onto a col that separates the spur of Stuc Coire an Laoigh from Spidean Coire nan Clach (993m), one of the main summits of the Beinn Eighe ridge. This col is grassy and forms a quite small, but still excellent, area from which to launch in either a south west or south easterly direction.
