From the start in Glen Coe, Sgor na h-Ulaidh is hidden behind its two neighbours. The most interesting approach is to climb these first.
Start from the CP on the bend of the A82, 350m SE of Achnacon at NN119565. Cross the stile opposite and head S across the fairly flat and usually boggy ground to a bridge hidden in the trees at WP NN119⁰⁹557⁹¹
Continue S to reach the foot of the steep N ridge of Aonach Dubh a’Ghlinne to the E of the rocky crags forming its spine, at WP NN121⁶⁰548²⁴. Climb the grassy slope, trending right towards the crest of the ridge until the way is barred by a rocky slab-sided rib. Pass below this and continue climbing up the steep grass on its W side to reach a prominent ledge at WP NN119⁷⁷547³³. Follow the ledge rightwards a short distance to reach more grassy slopes leading up to the crest of the ridge. Follow the ridge, zig-zagging as necessary to avoid rocky outcrops, to the summit of Aonach Dubh a’Ghlinne, 845m. Still going S, descend a short drop
and climb the slope to the summit of Stob an Fhuarain, 968m.
*From here, a ridge leads SW to the summit of Sgurr na h-Ulaidh**. Return to Stob an Fhuarain and descend its E ridge. Two almost vertical rocky cliffs can be negotiated on the S sides. At a spot height 665mᵉˣ overlooking Bealach Fhionnghaill, turn N and
follow a ridge down to Fionn Ghleann. Follow the W bank of the river back to the bridge and return to the start.
*For a shorter route with less ascent:- Omit the Munro and descend from the summit of Stob an Fhuarain by its E ridge as above
**An alternative descent avoids returning to the summit of Stob an Fhuarain:- From the summit of Sgurr na h-Ulaidh, descend W onto the level spur of Corr na Beinne, and continue to its end at WP NN105³¹516²⁰. Turn NW down rocky slopes until the gradient eases at about 700m alt, NN103⁰⁰518⁷⁹.
Head N, making for the Bealach Easanᵉˣ between Sgurr na h-Ulaidh and Meall Lighiche. Descend NE to pick up the path by the Allt na Muidhe and return to the start.
