Mountain Description
Carn Ghluasaid on the N shore of Loch Cluanie is elongated on E to W. The smooth S slopes, which rise steeply from the shores of the Loch, have few crags and a stalkers path gives easy access via the SW ridge. In contrast the E and N slopes are craggy and steep. To the W a narrow col connects a minor top (998m) which allows access to Sgurr nan Conbhairean, another Munro.
