As mentioned the ascent of Stob Ghabhar is usually combined with the adjoining Munro of Stob a' Choir' Odhar and the starting point for this walk is the car park at Victoria Bridge at the western end of Loch Tulla at grid reference . The West Highland Way is followed for a short distance until a track is taken west along the north bank of the Abhainn Shira as far as the Clashgour hut which belongs to the Glasgow University Mountaineering Club but prior to 1933 was the local primary school. At the hut turn right (north) by the Allt Toaig for two kilometres before ascending onto the Aonach Eagach ridge which leads to the summit.
