Tom a'Choinich is a Munro mountain standing at 1,112m in height. It can be found to the south of Loch Mullardoch or north of Loch Affric. When approaching from Carn Eige, the hiker goes over multiple rocky sharp ridges which are dramatic but don't require technical climbing skills. A tiring but rewarding day out!

Hiking

This round trip is very exciting, a good visible path goes up to first peak and when you follow ridge you can make easy 7-8 summits on this tour more than 1000m. Entire trip is slightly longe than shown on my graphic, GPS signal was disturbed for about 1,5km, so entire trip is about 28km. In general the path is always visible, but a reasonable visibility would be good to see next summit for orientation.

Running

Tom a' Chòinich is a munro at 1,112 m. The summit is accessed along an awesome rocky ridge, it's steep and feels amazing but it's not actually technical. Good effort if you run the whole way though!
