The Clas Fhearnaig Pass links Glen Quoich in the east with Glen Lui in the west. The high point on the pass is at about 500m which isn't a large climb from either side. The two long lochs in the pass make a nice feature and a good resting place.
Most people walk through here on a circuit of the two glens from the south but you can also access the ridge and head south to Creag Bhalg, it's rough country though.

Approach from the south has the easier path from the Linn of Dee. can be included on a round to a nearby Graham.

Some small remote hill lochs and reportedly the spot where an old alder survives in this almost treeless part of the landscape.
