Mountain Description
Sgorr Craobh a' Chaorainn and Sgurr Ghiubhsachain (Corbett) are the two highest peaks on the rocky head-wall of Coire Ghiubhsachain and are attached at a col (593m) which is deemed a sufficient drop for them to be considered separate Corbetts yet they are undeniably part of the same mountain mass and should be climbed together. The rocky NNE ridge of Sgurr Ghiubhsachain connects to Meall a' Choire-Chruinn then tapers down to Guesachan Cottage were there is a road giving good access. The other possble ascent route is via Meall na Cuartaige on the ENE ridge of Sgorr Craobh a' Chaorainn which leads to a path by the Allt na Cruaiche
