Ben Stack
Ben Stack (720 m) is a mountain in Sutherland, northwest Scotland. The panorama from the summit is grandiose, offering magnificent views of the brilliant white mountains of Foinaven and Arkle, as well as the countless rivers, lochs and lochans that characterize the region.
The start of the hike is the same as for the Arkle summit. The ascent is mainly off-trail, often over boggy terrain. Once you've passed the telephone antenna, the direction is always the same: northwest. The hike is short but relatively steep.

REMARKS
The route is not the most pleasant, always in the same direction and with little variety, but the views during the ascent and especially once at the summit more than compensate for this negative point.
