For many years, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean stood in the list of Munros with a recorded height of 915m. In 2011 Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean was re-measured and found to have a height of just under 914m, therefore moved into the Corbett list.

There are various ways to gain Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean's summit, for instance directly from Craig to the west via some steep clambering, or from Pollan Buidhe up a fine stalkers path.
