Stob Coire Sgreamhach, the 'peak of the dreadful corrie', was treated as part of Bidean nam Bian until the 1997 revision of Munro's Tables made it a Munro in its own right. Many walkers come up through Coire Gabhail, the Lost Valley, whose wide, flat floor can't be seen from Glen Coe. The MacDonalds are said to have hidden cattle there, whether their own or taken from others. The top has a cairn, with a steep, rocky ridge dropping south-east to Glen Etive.
