Sgurr a' Mhaim rises on the south side of Glen Nevis, facing Ben Nevis 4.6 km to the north. It is a Munro and a Marilyn in the Mamores. Grey quartzite scree covers its upper slopes, so from the glen the summit can look snow-capped in summer. Stob Ban lies 2.1 km to the south-west, and a narrow crest called the Devil's Ridge runs south to Stob Choire a Mhail and Sgurr an Iubhair, 1.2 km away.
The direct ascent starts at Achriabhach in Glen Nevis and climbs the long north-west ridge on a steep, stony path. A second line comes up from the south over Sgurr an Iubhair and along the Devil's Ridge, which forms part of the Ring of Steall circuit.
The Devil's Ridge is narrow and exposed, with one short rocky step that needs hands. In high wind or winter conditions it is serious ground, and you can use the north-west ridge as a safer way off.
