Ascent up towards Na Gruagaichean usually starts at sea level in Kinlochleven, however it is possible to start by driving to Mamore Lodge and parking at the car park which saves 200m of ascent. From there it is usually climbed using the old stalkers path heading north away from the village before eventually turning east towards the summit. The mountain can also be climbed from Glen Nevis in conjunction with Binnein Beag and Binnein Mor as a ridge walk or a part as the challenging Ring of Steall ridge walk.
