Mountain Description
A' Chralaig and Mullach Fraoch-choire form the W portion of the head-wall of Gleann na Ciche. The main bulk of A' Chralaig is orientated NNW to SSE with the broad grass slopes of its S and E ridges being visible from Loch Cluanie. In fact the mountain has a narrow summit ridge curving E to Bealach Choire a' Chait (which connects to Sgurr nan Conbhairean) and winding NNW to Stob Coire na Cralaig (which connects to Mullach Fraoch-choire). From S of the summit, a long ridge runs NE to A' Chioch (947m). The normal ascent routes are via the S ridge from Loch Cluanie or on the main ridge from either of its neighbours.
