Sgurr Innse

Rising steeply above the Lairig Leacach, this rugged Corbett punches well above its weight. Often climbed alongside Cruach Innse, it offers a surprisingly rocky character and a sharp profile. The summit provides an exceptional, close-up perspective of the sprawling Grey Corries ridge and the massive bulk of the Stob Coire Easain group.

• •The name derives from the Gaelic Sgùrr Innse, meaning ‘Peak of the Meadow’, likely referring to the sheltered grazing found in the deep mountain pass at its foot.
• •The hill is a prominent landmark along the Lairig Leacach, an ancient cross-country route once used by drovers moving cattle between Spean Bridge and the shores of Loch Treig.
• •From the summit, walkers are rewarded with a spectacular view of the eastern face of the Grey Corries, showing the dramatic, steep-sided corries of Stob Choire-claurigh that are hidden from the standard Munro-bagging routes.
• •While its neighbor Cruach Innse is technically the higher of the two, Sgurr Innse is significantly more rugged; its steep, craggy slopes require a level of effort and route-finding that its rounder twin lacks.
