[4] Sgùrr na Sgine has a subsidiary Top along its north eastern ridge called Faochag (The Whelk) which reaches a height of 909 metres.

Walkers should contour round the side of the cliffs to reach the bealach which connects the mountain to the Corbett Sgùrr a'Bhac Chaolais.

A direct ascent of Sgùrr na Sgine is possible from Achnangart Farm (grid reference NG962149) in Glen Shiel, almost at sea level, giving a hard climb up the grassy slopes of the north east ridge to Faochag.

From there the gradient eases considerably giving an easier walk to the summit plateau, though with a rocky scramble up Concorde Ridge.

A circuit of Coire Toteil can be completed by continuing from the summit to take in the Corbett Sgùrr a'Bhac Chaolais before descending to Glen Shiel.
