Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Carn na Caim is a gentle rise on the NW edge of a high moorland plateau. To the N and W of the summit the slopes have some short steep sections on what are mainly moderate inclines into Coire Cam, Coire Bhathaich and coire Ulleim. To the S and E are the gentle undulations of the high moorland. The slopes to the N and W form a series of ridges, all of which can be ascended, but ascent is normally across the moorland from the SW where a track ascends to the plateau.

Carn na Caim and A' Bhuidheanach Beag
|
Easy route on rather featureless high moorland plateau, which can lead to navigational problems in poor visibility. Little more than a long walk.

Cannot speak less highly of these two Munros - no topographical character or individuality, A9's presence spoils feeling of remoteness/wilderness/adventure (a merit of the often-wrongly-criticised Monadhliath hills), views relatively poor compared with surrounding peaks.
