A scenic variation is the 4-5-hour Faha Route, the Pilgrim's Path, which starts from the east via the car park at the Faha Grotto () just outside Cloghane. The route to the summit is marked, and offers views of the deep corries and paternoster lakes on Brandon's glaciated east face. It follows a trail below the Faha Ridge to the summit; then retracing back to Faha Grotto.
