Mountain Description
Na Gruagaichean, in the heart of the Mamores, is a double topped mountain at the intersection of three ridges, the S top being the higher and therefore the summit. The narrow NE ridge connects to Binnean Mor via a minor top (1062m), the narrow WNW ridge to Stob Coire a Chairn (981m) where a path ascends from Coire na Ba. A third ridge S leads to steep slopes overlooking Kinlochleven. Na Gruagaichean has a stony and, in places, craggy summit. Normal access is via the WNW or NE ridges.
