Track Rating ..
[RWD version 1 ] Having parked at a roughly surfaced layby at NH087 120 later than I had planned, through impatience, I walked past the little cairn marking the start of the ascent path to A'Chralaig. I came across the path farther up the hillside. Later, in clag, I walked past the spur towards A'Chioch so had to descend some steep ground and traverse across to it. The ridge walk out and back to A'Chioch was a delight as the clag cleared for a while and I had some excellent views towards the Sgúrr nan Conbhairean group. The ridge between A'Chralaig and Mullach Fraoch-choire is quite exposed in places and requires care. The path back to the road via An Caorann Mór was quite wet at first but improved greatly as I progressed. Both the SMC and Cicerone guidebooks describe the steep, grassy ascent slope of A'Chralaig as relentless. Others might use more colourful language.
