Mountain Description
Sgurr a' Choire Ghlais, which is one of three Munros enclosing Coire Mhuillidh, approximates to a square pyramid with the summit located at the convergence of four ridges. Its two northern ridges, ENE and WNW connect to Carn nan Gobhar and the more distant Sgurr Fuar-thuill (via Creag Ghorm a' Bhealaich) respectively. There is a broad SW ridge and a longer narrower SE leading down to Meall a' Gheur-fheadain (756m) from which an ascent from the path in Coire Mhuillidh can be made. Higher slopes are easy to moderate.
