Sgurr Choinnich Mor, with its subsiduary peak Sgurr Choinnich Beag, sit at the western end of the Grey Corries - a twisting ridge linking four Munros above Spean Bridge.

Sgurr Choinnich Mor is a fairly remote Munro in the wild land. On its own, the finest approach is from the head of Glen Nevis, following the Steall path. However, Sgurr Choinnich Mor is best bagged with the other peaks in the Grey Corries - some superb ridge walking on high ground obove crags and corries.

Sgurr Choinnich Mor's summit is a narrow grass-covered crest sitting above shattered rock. Its north-eastern shoulder links to the other peaks in the Grey Corries range, its western shoulder links to the Aonachs and onwards to Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis.
