Ascent

The usual route of ascent is from Glen Coe, approximately 2 km west of Loch Achtriochtan.[3] A track on the west of Allt na Muidhe is followed and after 1 km the burn is crossed. The east side of the burn is then followed for about 3 km until a turn east is made to climb to the ridge just north of the top of Stob an Fhuarain. This peak is climbed, then the steep, rocky ridge is followed trending south-west to the summit of Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh.[3]

A route that avoids the steep ground on the north side of the mountain can be made from the southern Glen Etive side.[3]
