Sgurr a' Mhaoraich is a 1,027m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. Due to the large body of water in Glen Quoich that feeds Loch Quoich, it's difficult to link this Munro to its two neighbours on the other side (Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach). So what we did was climb this Munro in the morning, move the car slightly down the lochside and then climb the other two in the afternoon.

Sgurr a’ Mhaoraich Summit (1027m)
The summit took place bit longer to get to than we’d expected, a few ups and downs towards the end which made it a really rewarding summit to reach. The views over to Kintail and the South Glen Shiel Ridge are fantastic. The views down to Loch Hourn are also worth the effort!
