Slioch is one of the great landmarks of Wester Ross, a steep-sided block of red sandstone rising from the north-east shore of Loch Maree. It reaches 981m (3219ft), is a Munro and a Marilyn, and has 626m of prominence. Sgurr an Tuill Bhain (934m) is 1.4km to the east, and Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, the nearest higher hill, is 6.5km to the north-east in the remote ground beyond.
The standard route starts at Incheril, on the east side of Kinlochewe, and follows a path along the Kinlochewe River towards Loch Maree. You then turn up Gleann Bianasdail, cross the river and climb into the corrie on the south-east side of the mountain, between Slioch and Sgurr an Tuill Bhain. From there paths climb to the summit, and many walkers make a round over Sgurr an Tuill Bhain.
The walk-in is long and the ground in the corrie is pathless in places. The summit looks down the length of Loch Maree and across to the Torridon hills.
