Mountain Description
|
|
|
Mullach Fraoch-choire and A' Chralaig form the head-wall of Coire na Cralaig which lies at W end of Gleann na Ciche (SW of Glen Affric). Mullach Fraoch-choire is linked to A'Chralaig to the S by a narrow twisting ridge. The summit ridge of Mullach Fraoch-choire is narrow and rocky with the crags mostly to the E, but the W slopes also have some crags and some stony slopes. A descent is possible from the col linking to Stob Coire na Cralaig into Coire Odhar to reach An Caorann Mor below. The summit ridge continues NNW giving rise to a short NNE ridge, then a longer NE ridge. From the summit a further ridge splits to give NE and ENE ridges. Between the two NE ridges lies Fraoch-choire (heather corrie) for which the peak is named.

The known ridge on this hill is very enjoyable and offers a nice airy ridge walk. The combination with near neighbour A'Chralaig makes for an easy half day's walk, starting with A'Chralaig before returning via Coire Odhair and the An Caorainn Mor.
