South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
Starting from layby on A87 started up jeep track at NH 092 120 and shortly started up faint path NE cutting direct line up slope to ridge at approx 750m. Followed ridge to A' Chraileag summit. Continued along ridge N to summit of Mullach Fraoch-choire. Retraced steps back S to col at 949m. Descended slope N into Coire Odhar. Took a descending traverse line SW around Stob Coire na Craileig to join path headin S out of An Caorann Mor. Followed this back to parking. Good snow cover above 800m. Soft snow on ascent but had crampns and axe in use for full traverse until descended back to 750m in Coire Odhar. Good visibilty all day and not much wind. leading one other adult.
