North of the Great Glen only a handful of hills breach 1100m. Being one of the few, Sgurr nan Conbhairean has a big feel; it's a grand peak too, with a summit cairn perched airily on the lip of its huge eastern corrie. Most easily accessed from the south, it makes a nice logical ridge walking circuit along with neighbouring Munro Carn Ghluasaid. A third Munro, Sail Chaorainn, can be added with a slightly messy out-and-back detour, but I'd contend that's better done as part of a huge horseshoe from the Affric side including the other biggies in the range, Mullach Fraoch Choire and A'Chralaig. Today's route is a bit more modest in ambition. 8.64 miles, 13.90 km, 1,082m ascent, 5 – 6 hours.
