Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg and the Brothers of Kintail

Other routes and challenges

The Brothers Ridge route can be extended in both directions. Including Ciste Dhubh and perhaps Am Bathach is feasible, although there is a low bealach. Extending the route westwards to continue over the Five Sisters, on the other hand, makes for a completely epic excursion only for the very fittest.
