Heading into Glen Nevis, the large domed mountain capped in quartzite that dominates the view ahead is Sgùrr a'Mhàim. Higher than most of the other Mamores Munro peaks, the views in most directions are stunning, but not northwards as Ben Nevis shields any views in this direction.

From Glen Nevis, a direct ascent of Sgùrr a'Mhàim can be made following a path up its north-west shoulder.

Immediately behind Sgùrr a'Mhàim's summit lies the ominously sounding 'Devil's Ridge' - a narrow crest leading onto the main Mamores ridge. The finest route taking in Sgùrr a'Mhàim (and the 'Devil's Ridge') is the famed 'Ring of Steall', a classic ridge traverse in the centre of the Mamores range - 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).
