The path divides soon afterwards – go right to continue towards the ridge, contouring southeast still. The path disappears just before the gorge of the Allt nan Coisiche, or ‘walker’s burn’, but bear east along the burn to find a crossing place. Once across, head southeast again towards the end of the ridge. This is ascended on the west side by bearing east all the way to the top and making use of bits of sheep paths. While steep, and on some well-eroded rock, it is never too difficult.

Once on Garbh Choireachan (738m), follow the path along the hugely enjoyable ridge. It sticks to the west side to avoid some rockier sections, though there is the option of scrambling along the very top. This brings you to the summit of Ben More Coigach (743m) (094 042, 4km, 2hr). The view from here over to better-known neighbour Stac Pollaidh is spectacular and unique.

From the summit head northeast briefly until the gradient down to the left lessens, then head north diagonally down across short grass to the bealach (544m).
