Sgùrr a' Mhàim

The Ring of Steall in the Mamores is the best all-day package of easy scrambling and big-hill walking here, linking four Munros in a loop of about 15 km from Glen Nevis. The highlight is the Devil's Ridge south of Sgùrr a' Mhàim, a slender crest with fairly easy summer rock scrambling whose crux looks far harder than it is outside winter. Bypass paths on An Garbhanach, though slightly exposed, offer a choice later on. It starts with fun of a different kind: a wire bridge over the Water of Nevis. The descent from Am Bodach is on gravel that needs careful footing, and landslips have taken sections of the lower Glen Nevis path.
