Mountain Description
Sgurr Gaorsaic is a very remote hill therefore careful navigation is required even though paths lead you to the base of the hill. This compact hill is little more than a spur of the S ridge of the massive Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan (Munro) but the col that connects them is 670m high, which is a sufficient drop for this top to be ranked as a Corbett. Loch Gaorsaic which Sgurr Gaorsaic overlooks is at an elevation of 380m which means the peak is less than 460m above the path. The ascent is on easy slopes, and although there are scattered crags, the approch from the S avoids them.
