Climbing the Normal Route via Allt Breabaig
From Ullapool, take the A835 south to Braemore Junction and turn west on the A832 to the Loch a' Bhraoin layby. Walk the track toward the loch, then follow the Allt Breabaig stalkers path south up the glen to the bealach below Sgurr Breac. From there, rough Class 2 slopes and a narrowing crest lead to the small summit perched above the crags of Coire Mor. Most people add Sgurr nan Clach Geala via the bealach of Cadha na Guite. The glen path is boggy after rain and the ridge is exposed to wind. Expect few other walkers and no phone signal, and carry a map and compass for the upper ground.
