Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgor Gaibhre, a compact conical topped mountain is connected to its nearest neighbour, Sgor Choinnich (1km N), by a high pass, Bealach nan Sgor (800m). Sgor Gaibhre has two broad ridges; a W ridge which leads down to a broad boggy bealach the Mam Ban and is the access route from Carn Dearg, and a S ridge leading to Beinn Pharlagain. E slopes are steep and craggy whereas W slopes have gentle inclines. Normal access routes are from Carn Dearg via the Mam Ban or from Meall Nanthrach onto Sgor Choinnich then via the Bealach nan Sgor.
