Mountain Description
Carn nan Gobhar is the more central of three Munros enclosing Coire Mhuillidh. To the N are easy slopes to Strathconnon from where a path ascends to over 600m. The curved summit ridge runs SW from the summit then divides into a short narrow W branch connecting to Sgurr a Choire Ghlais and a longer broader S branch to An Socach overlooking Coire Mhuillidh. At the E end of the summit ridge a S branch connects to Sgurr na Ruaidhe and a NNE branch leads down to Meall na Faire. Between these ridges there are steep slopes into Coire na Sleaghaich, but otherwise slopes are moderate and accessible. Access is invariably from Sgurr a Choire Ghlais or Sgurr na Ruaidhe.
