The Sow of Atholl is divided from the other Drumochter mountains by a low bealach and thus this steep-sided block of moorland has Corbett status. It is often climbed in combination with the neighbouring Munros, but an easier short day is the ascent from Dalnapsidal.

The ascent being short, it is straightforward to add the ascent of the Meall na Leitreach to the day.
The Sow can also be done as a prelude to neighbouring Munro Sgairneach Mhor and its neighbours.
