Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn Gorm is bulky mountain to the N of Glen Lyon. It has a distinct summit, marked by a small cairn, (N.B. trig point is not the summit!) at the junction of four ridges. The longest, NW ridge, leads down gentle slopes to Rannoch Forest, although a descent of its W slope gives access to a steep sided glen, Dubh Choirein, leading to a track through the forest to Camusvrachan in Glen Lyon. The narrow NE ridge connects to Meall Garbh via An Sgorr (924m) which can be bypassed to the NW. Both the SW and SE ridges lead to Glen Lyon. The terrain is generally moderate to easy grass slopes with scattered rock outcrops particularly to the S. The SE ridge is the preferred ascent route from Inverar although forests on its lower slopes have to be navigated.

Very easy walking up this hill, in good weather, we followed the path to the Invervar burn, then crossed to follow briefly the plantation's edge west before an easy walk over a grassy ridge to the summit. certainly nice and quite compared to Lawers over the glen!

Although this mountain isn't really one I'd recommend to newcombers to Munro's it's got a great feeling of remoteness. If you're new to Munro bagging do Schiehallion instead. Still good especially if you combine it with the other three.
