Other routes and challenges

A much shorter route would be to climb Sgùrr Craobh a' Chaorainn alone, using the descent route described in the route guide above.

Another classic option is to ascend Sgùrr Ghiubhsachain via its northeast ridge from Ghiubhsachain on Loch Shiel (reached by walking along the track from Callop). The ridge is steep with optional scrambling; from the summit of Sgùrr Ghiubhsachain you can continue as described in the route above.
