Ten kilometres north of the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond is the splendid peak of Ben Lui (calf hill, 1130m) standing tall over its three neighbouring Munros.
The climb ends at a cairn a few metres from the NW Top of Ben Lui (1127m) and the summit is a short traverse away along the ridge at the top of the steep headwall of Coire Gaothaith.
The broad flat col between Bens Oss and Lui presents no difficulty as it leads to the south ridge of Ben Lui which can be followed all the way up to the summit.

Beinn Laoigh (the name is sometimes anglicised to Ben Lui or Ben Laoigh) is a peak of the southern highlands of Scotland.
Beinn Laoigh is the highest and most famous of a group of four Munros that lie south of Glen Lochy, and about 10 km north of the top end of Loch Lomond.
The simplest and shortest ascent of Ben Laoigh may be made from Glen Lochy, near the point where the burn of Eas Daimh flows into the Lochy.

 Ben Lui   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
I had climbed Ben Lui once before with an inexperienced group in poor weather conditions; we had turned back a little short of the summit when the frozen scree got a bit too unstable for us.
Ben Wright and Rob Hardisty were certainly fitter than me, and Andy Ward, the fourth relatively new member of the team, would put all of us to shame with his energy.
As we continued to ascent towards Ben Lui we kept stopping to look around at the views - though not for long as keeping moving was necessary to keep warm.

 Ben Lui & Beinn a' Chleibh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Ben Lui is a magnificent mountain, particularly when the great Coire Gaothaich is filled with snow.
A shorter approach from the A85 in Glen Lochy ascends the north-west ridge from where the splendour of this mountain cannot be appreciated.
Beinn a' Chleibh, one of the smallest Munros, combines with Ben Lui to form the headwall of a large grassy corrie, Fionn Choirein, and the most usual route of ascent is from Ben Lui on the ridge at the head of this corrie.

Ben Lui, Beinn a' Chleibh, Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhcraig
The climb from the saddle between Ben Lui and Ben Oss is never difficult, although it is quite rocky and bouldery in places.
From here the peak of Ben Lui is impressive across Coire Lui, and almost diabolical with its twin summits like small horns on a dark beast (back to the Hound of the Baskervilles again!).

 Munro, Munro Top, Corbett and Other Waypoint data
Thus, three routes for Ben Lui and Beinn a'Chielb are given: A09A the sporty route, A09B also up the NW ridge, and A08 (the code for Beinn a'Chielb) for the route to the intermediate bealach, left for Ben Lui, right for Beinn a'Chielb.
The cognoscenti have left the cross-path just before the short climb to the motorway and dropped down to a path that has been marked with white posts as the requested route to avoid the lower part of the corrie (the path from Stuc a' Chroin is higher and therefore not liable to cause problems).
Alternative routes from the bealach are (a) contour right to the NW ridge of An Stuc (I believe there is a path in summer, but it was a steep snow field in May) or (b) drop down to Lochan nan Cat, go SW and reascend to the bealach between An Stuc and Creag an Fhithich.

On the Saturday we planned a monster walk over all the Ben Lui hills which is a big undertaking in summer but with the daylight hours, snow and weather conditions it proved to be a major achievement.
An interesting line was followed up the head wall which livened the climb up a bit and we were soon on the summit of Beinn a'Chleibh in atrocious conditions being lucky to find the cairn, it was Andy's 150th Munro.
It seemed to rain all night so when it came to the morning there was no more rain left in the sky and the sun shone through, most people had so much wet stuff however that many didn't go walking which was a shame because it actually proved to be a nice day.

According to a display in the Perth Museum it takes 440 days for a drop of water that falls on Ben Lui to reach Dundee.
Our aim was to take the canoes as far up the track to the foot of Ben Lui as possible, summit Ben Lui and then commence the journey down to Dundee along the River Cononish, River Fillan, River Dochart, Loch Tay and River Tay.
We hoped to drive along the track to the foot of Ben Lui but a ford prevented that (A four wheel drive could cross with the water levels we had) so we set about portaging the canoes.

It is a little-known fact that, until the early 1980s, Ben Lui was known by the perfectly respectable and appropriate Gaelic name, Stob Coire an t-Sneachda.
Beinn Dubhchraig and Ben Oss were to become Ben Hui and Ben Dui (to accompany Ben Lui), Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh were pencilled in as Ben Mickey and Ben Goofy, and Ben Challum was to become Ben Donald (making it the only Donald north of the Highland Boundary Fault, ha-ha!).
