From Cluanie a frequently-used route climbs A' Chràlaig first and then traverses the ridge north from there. This involves something of a scramble around several pinnacles with steep drops on both sides - to Coire na Geurdain on the east and Coire Odhar on the west. The last half-kilometre of the ridge before reaching Mullach Fraoch-Choire is spectacularly narrow and in winter it becomes a Scottish Grade I climb. A return may be made by using the outward route or by descending Coire Odhar from the col near Stob Coire na Chràlaig.
