Mountain Description
Carn a' Gheoidh is a conical hill with a gently rounded summit. The slopes to the N are easy with two broad ridges, the more westerly being longer leads to an approach track by the Baddoch Burn. To the S the slopes are steeper but still accessible. To the W a ridge connects to Carn Bhinnein from where steep and rocky slopes overlook Gleann Taitneach. To the E a broad ridge connects to Carn nan Sac, whose steep and sometimes craggy slopes form a corrie with the equally steep slopes connecting toThe Cairnwell. The normal access route from Glen Shee takes you along the rim of this corrie.

wrote on September 30, 2002: 		Easy ridge walk from Cairnwell / Carn Aosda to fairly uninspiring lump. Best feature is the more shapely 'Sub Top' Carn Bhinnein to the west which gives fine views over Gleann Taitneach to Glas Tulaichean.
