This solitary mountain, situated 5 kilometres west of Gleouraich, is similar to it in some respects. On its north side it is steep and rocky, with impressive corries, but on its south side Coire nan Eiricheallach is much more open and grassy. Like its neighbouring peaks, Sgurr a' Mhaoraich is very accessible and gives an easy traverse. The start is a short distance beyond the bridge over the narrow bay of Loch Quoich where a stalker's path goes up the ridge to Bac nan Canaichean. Follow this path and continue along the ridge north-westwards to the summit of Sgurr a' Mhaoraich. Descend the south ridge and reach the road about 2 kilometres west of the day's starting point.
