Mountain Description
Garbh Choich Mhor is a remote mountain at the the head of Glen Dessarry separated from Sgurr na Ciche by Bealach na h-Eangair. Garbh Choich Mhor sits on a undulating ridge with its sister peak Garbh Choich Bheag (968m) beyond which the ridge slopes down to a col linking to Sgurr nan Coireachan The summit ridge is very rocky, but a drystone wall runs along its crest and down to Bealach na h-Eangair, simplifying route finding over this rough terrain. The normal ascent routes are from Bealach na h-Eangair or from the col to Sgurr nan Coireachan.
