304:. The road is tarmac as far as the Fannich dam then becomes a track which passes Fannich Lodge to reach the south ridge from where the mountain can be climbed. A number of years ago it was possible to obtain a key for the locked gate at Grudie and drive a car as far as the dam. Several mountain guide writers recommend this southern approach for a long day in the hills which takes in seven of the Fannich Munros. There was formerly a bothy known as the “Nest of Fannich” situated on Sgùrr nan Each’s lower south west slopes by the loch which a great help when climbing mountains in this area, the bothy burned down several years ago. The highlight of the view from the top of Sgùrr nan Each is the western panorama which takes in the
243:, which stands 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the north. The two mountains are joined by a ridge that is sharp in places and provides some minor scrambling and has a low point of 815 metres (2,674 ft). Sgùrr nan Each falls away abruptly on its eastern flanks with crags in places to the valley of the Allt a’ Choire Mhòir. To the west, the slopes are grassy and moderate down to the 700-metre (2,300 ft) contour before falling abruptly to the head of Loch Fannich. To the south, the ridge continues over the subsidiary top of Sgùrr a' Chadha Dheirg (866 metres or 2,841 feet) before dropping down to the shores of Loch Fannich.

An approach from the south is possible but a mountain bike is required for the 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) ride to the foot of the south ridge. The ride uses the hydro road from the locked gates at Grudie on the A835 at grid reference

Sgùrr nan Each is a minor peak among the
Fannichs, therefore it is invariably climbed in junction with other hills of the group. The most popular ascent is from the north, starting at a lay by on the A832 road at grid reference

Sgùrr nan Each stands on a spur that goes south off the main
