With a bouldery summit resting above grassy slopes that drop steeply to Glen Shiel, Sgùrr na Ciste Duibhe is one of three Munros in the famed Five Sisters of Kintail mountain range.

The most direct route to Sgùrr na Ciste Duibhe starts from the site of Glen Shiel Battle where the A87 crosses the River Shiel. A slightly longer and more gentle route begins a mile to the east and follows a decent path most of the way onto the Kintail ridge between Sgùrr na Ciste Duibhe and its neighbour Sgùrr nan Spàinteach.

Sgùrr na Ciste Duibhe is connected by ridges and cols to other Munros in the Five Sisters, it is therefore most likely to be bagged on a route with these, ending by Loch Duich - organising some form of transport between the start and finishing points on such a route will avoid a long walk back along the busy A87.
