Another sandstone classic. Not the best weather, but at least the easy scramble over Garbh Coireachan was quite gripping in the easterly wind. The Sgurr was easier, clear so I got a good view of the famous nose. This is a very impressive hill, yet the descent was very gentle down the southern slopes.

You can get in from the North at under HVS, there is a steep walk up to the col between Sgurr an Fhidhleir and Ben More. The ground looks pretty rough on the approach though.
