Sitting at the eastern end of the Grey Corries ridge, Stob Choire Claurigh is the highest Munro peak in the range. Its higher ground is of quartzite rock which gives the Grey Corries range its name.

There are 3 spurs to Stob Coire Claurigh, one to the north, one to the south and another to the west. The northern spur is long and grassy and makes for a fine direct approach from the forests above Coirechoillie. The southern spur leads down to a bealach above Coire Rath which connects to Stob Bàn and this approach is the best if intending to bag all 4 Munros in the Grey Corries range in a day. The western spur leads along to the ridge to aim for the Munros of Stob Coire an Laoigh and Sgùrr Chòinnich Mòr and other summits in the Grey Corries range.
