Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn Liath is the smallest of the Beinn a' Ghlo group. It is a compact mountain with single long ridge twisting N from the summit towards Braigh Coire Chruinn-Bhalgain. The lower slopes are deep heather and the upper slopes grass with stony areas. Most slope inclines are moderate steep with many stony areas but no cliffs. There is a well trodden path up the SW face of Carn Liath and this path continues along the summit ridge to Braigh Coire Chruinn-Bhalgain.

Just a hint on the approach roads, the area is a rabbit warren of little roads and tracks, easy to miss the one you want, from the South, as you enter Blair Atholl there is a Petrol Station and a Hotel, 100 yards from the Bridge of Tilt Hotel is a turning on the right, signposted Glen Fendoch, keep going until the road splits in 2, and take the right hand road signposted Monzie, this takes you to the Loch and the carpark. Cant really comment on the mountain, didnt see much of it, another pea soup day.

What a day - 3 Munros - visability excellent - a bit windy on the peaks but otherwise excellent - one of the best days ever for great walking and stunning 360 degree views - no navigation issues on a day like this but the route described turns south after descent from Airgoid Beinn but there is a path if you continue SSW (not on map) but visible on a clear day from descent

Climbed in April 2007. Sadly most of the day was spent in cloud, but I would come back here on a clear day. I really recommend doing the whole range but in low cloud it can be difficult to find the descent to the col leading to Carn nan Gabhar - I wasn't the only one to miss it today!
