Ben More (Шаблон:Lang-gd, "the great mountain")[1] is a mountain in the Breadalbane region of the southern Scottish Highlands, near Crianlarich. Rising to Шаблон:Convert, it is a Munro and is the highest of the so-called Crianlarich Hills to the south-east of the village. There is no higher land in the British Isles south of Ben More. It is separated from Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Convert) by the Шаблон:Lang, "col between two mountains". It is the highest peak in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Ben More's north side contains a long-lasting snow patch, which – uniquely in the Southern Highlands – is named on a 1:25000 Ordnance Survey map, and is called the Шаблон:Lang (crooked wreath), on account of the shape it forms in late spring/early summer. This patch frequently lasts until well into June and sometimes July. The similar name Шаблон:Lang appears as a summit near Lochnagar.

Climbing

The simplest ascent starts from Benmore Farm on the A85. Initially, one should follow the path leading up Benmore Burn, before leaving this path and heading up the northwest ridge of Ben More. The ridge is unrelentingly steep, rising Шаблон:Convert in about Шаблон:Convert. The northeast ridge may prove a preferable alternative, being craggier and less steep. To reach this the walker should follow the burn of Шаблон:Lang, before striking for the ridge of Шаблон:Lang once clear of the forestry that cloaks the lower slopes of this side of Ben More. This route is around Шаблон:Convert long.

Ben More is often climbed in conjunction with Шаблон:Lang by descending to the Шаблон:Lang and then on to the second peak. Descent may be made from the col direct to Benmore Burn.

In the event of an incident, Killin Mountain Rescue Team are on duty.[2]

Air crashes

On 19 January 1973, a Vickers Viscount of British European Airways took off from Glasgow International Airport at about 14:20 on a test flight to be conducted at Flight Level (FL) 40; in the conditions prevailing at the time FL40 was equivalent to about Шаблон:Convert.[3] At about 14:32 the aircraft flew into Ben More about Шаблон:Convert northeast and Шаблон:Convert below the summit while flying in a westerly direction.[3] The two pilots and two passengers on board were killed in the accident. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) found that the aircraft struck Ben More whilst flying over snow-covered high terrain in marginal visual meteorological conditions and said that "Failure to maintain a safe altitude and insufficient attention to navigational procedures were contributory factors".[3][4]
