Sgurr nan Each is a subsiduary top of Sgurr nan Clach Geala in the centre of the Fannichs. A ridge running north-south connects these two peaks at a bealach just over 100m below Sgurr nan Each's height. The western face of Sgurr nan Each is a grass-covered uniformed slope contrasting with its more sheer eastern side consisting of crags dropping to the Allt a' Choire Mhoir below.

With a ridge connecting Sgurr nan Each to Sgurr nan Clach Geala, these two Munro summits are most likely to be hiked together. Other Munro peaks stand close by, so there are a few options to extend a hike further.

Approaches to Sgurr nan Each follow well defined tracks and paths in the glens which lead to pathless slopes of heather and grass. Higher up, paths travel on the mountain's crest sticking close to the upper edges of its east facing coire.
