Mountain Description
Mullach nan Coirean is the most westerly of the Mamores, connected to its nearest neighbour Stob Ban by its 4.5km winding ESE ridge via an un-named top (917m). A WSW ridge connects to Meall a Chaorainn (910m). From its N slopes arise two ridges, a long N ridge and a shorter NW ridge. The NW ridge leads to an access track in Coire Deirg leading down to Glen Nevis. The other normal access route is from Stob Ban.

Getting onto the hill from Glen Nevis can be tricky. From the large car park at Achriabhach walk back to the forest and take the path uphill just inside the forest edge to join a forest road at a bend. Follow this towards 135685. Before reaching an open gully, there is a path to the left which leads up through the forest to a stile. Cross the fence onto the open hillside and reach the summit by the north-east ridge.

Take the time to walk the ridge from Mullach nan Coirean to Meall a' Chaorainn. This provides an alternative view of both the Mullach and Stob Ban.
