Mountain Description
Sgurr nan Coireachan is the most easterly of three remote Munros at the head of Glen Dessarry. It is a complex mountain with a second peak, An Eag (873m) and long ridges NNE and NE. The NE ridge from An Eag leads over Sgurr Beag (890m) to Sgurr Mor more than 3km away. Because of its remoteness Sgurr nan Coireachan is only ascended from Glen Dessarry and its S ridge is the obvious, if unrelenting route to its summit. The other access route is the SW ridge and col leading to Garbh Choich Bheag and onto Garbh Choich Mhor.
