About Sgurr a' Mhaoraich
Sgurr a' Mhaoraich rises between Loch Quoich and the head of Loch Hourn, on the road west from Glen Garry. It is a Munro and a Marilyn. Sgurr a' Mhaoraich Beag, a top, lies 0.7 km to the west, and Gleouraich, 5.7 km to the east, is the nearest higher mountain.
The usual approach starts from the Loch Quoich road near the bridge over the north-west arm of the loch. A stalkers' path climbs the south ridge, and the upper ridge is rocky, with a few spots where you use your hands. You can return the same way or come down a different ridge.
The summit looks over Loch Hourn to Knoydart and Ladhar Bheinn, and east along Loch Quoich. This is remote country, a long drive from any town, so plan your day before you set off.
