Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
879 m (2883 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
Sguman Coinntich and Ben Killilan (754m) are two elongated hills separated by Coire Mor but connected at their E ends by Bealach Mhic Bheathain (755m) making a pleasant circular route.

Sguman Coinntich has many rocky outcrops but the slopes are not particularly steep and it is easy to navigate round the rocks. The long E ridge of Sguman Coinntich offers a high level route to Faochaig (Corbett).

Hazards you may encounter on Sguman Coinntich include
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Crags near summit.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.

If doing both Faochaig & Sguman Coinntich then there is a small parking area at the road end at Camas Luinie from where you can follow a trail east before crossing the River Elchaig and continuing up the glen to climb Faochaig first before heading west to Sguman Coinntich. This allows you to take in the great western views on the long walk to the second summit. A stalkers path goes down the Allt a' Ghlas Choire to Glen Elchaig from where you can return to the car park.
