context_page_description: Mullach Fraoch-choire is a 1,102-metre mountain – a Munro – in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland on a ridge extending north for 8 kilometres between Loch Cluanie in Glenmoriston and upper Glen Affric. It is within the Glen Affric National Scenic Area and Glen Affric National Nature Reserve.
context_section_description: From the north the mountain may be climbed from the very remote Glen Affric Youth Hostel at Alltbeithe or, from the south, from near Cluanie Inn  on the A87 beside Loch Cluanie.  The horseshoe is most conveniently traversed starting from Glen Affric but the nearest public road to the youth hostel is, in fact, by Loch Cluanie.
  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.
