Seana Bhràigh, 'old upper part', is often counted with A' Mhaighdean as one of the two hardest Scottish hills to reach. The highest point is a patch of grass right on the cliff edge, just east of a wind shelter. Steep, broken crags drop away to the north and east above Loch Luchd Coire, and climbers first pioneered routes on them between 1962 and 1965.
