Up via the falls on Allt Coire nan Cnamh. Pushing 30m and still impressive despite the dry weather. Pathless but easy ground from there to top. A reasonable path (not marked on landranger 33) goes up into the corrie, which would make a quick way onto Sgurr a' Mhaoraich Beag. | IainT | 22/06/2023 |
With trimarc2. Started the day from the most wonderful stay at Invergarry Hotel. Thought we could beat the weather to ascend the Munro but the weather beat us. Still - lovely small top to reach when deciding to head no further. Extremely wet. Highlight was being forced to stop on the drive in as the 8 stags had no desire to move out of the way. | Fionalevey | 26/01/2022 |

Second day of a caravan trip to Corpach, near Fort William and I settled on a hike on the north side of Loch Quoich (called Cuaich on some maps). There is a surprisingly well-built path up and over Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach (891m) and to the large cairn on top of Sgurr A’ Mhaoraich (1027m), a Munro. 
There was cloud above 850m to start with, but this was lifting and by the time I made it to the summit, there were great views down Loch Hourn. I bagged the Munro Top of Sgurr A’ Mhaoraoch Beag (948m), then contoured across the southern slope of the Munro and down to Leac nan Gaidhseich, returning to the road at the newish turbine building and walked the roughly 4km back to the car. 
Dry all day, even in the cloud, 6hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 29/05/2021 |
Stalkers path beyond dam from NH011035, over summit to bag the top of Mhaoraich Beag, contoured back round main summit to start point. | nordicstar | 18/12/2000 |
RS NB JH. Loch Quoich (011035) to Sgurr a'Mhaoraich, Sgurr a'M Beag & return over Leac nan Gaidhseich. Fine sunny intervals & feezing at all levels. | Vin | 18/12/2000 |
