Tamed by stalker's paths, An Gearanach is the northern Munro peak of a grassy mountain topped with a rocky crest. Its southern top, An Garbhanach, gives some easy and entertaining rock-scrambling and connects to the main ridge with a drop of just over 100m to a bealach below Stob Coire a'Chairn.

The most direct line of ascent to An Gearanach comes from Steall in Glen Nevis, from where a stalkers path zig-zags up the northern shoulder of the mountain.

Forming part of the famed 'Ring of Steall', the classic ridge traverse in the centre of the Mamores range, An Gearanach is best combined with the other Munros in this circuit. This makes for a fabulous hillwalking route !

For fit hikers and hill-runners, here is also the option of bagging An Gearanach as part of a complete Mamores traverse (or even a longer Tranter's Round or Ramsay's Round).
