Mountain Description
Sail Ghorm is the more northerly and second highest of the three corbetts that comprise the magificent mountain Quinag. The main ridge of Quinag runs SSE to NNW, with a Corbett at either end. The W slopes forming a long uninterupted wall of crags and scree, however the E slopes are dissected by two great corries to form a third NE ridge on which is the highest top (Sail Gharbh 808m (Corbett)), the true summit of Quinag. There are few easy ascents onto Quinag, the SE slopes of Spidean Coinich (Corbett), and at the heads of the two great corries being the most obvious. Other ascents are best left to the more experienced route finders.
