Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn nan Gabhar has an elongated summit orientated SSW to NNE. The summit is stony with boulder slopes on both flanks of the summit ridge. W of the summit are steep slopes with crags, and crags continue on the steep E flank of the N facing ridge. Crags also occur on the N face of the short NW ridge. To the SW, the summit ridge connects to Airgiod Beinn (an access route) and there is a short W spur leading down to a bealach connecting to Braigh Coire Chruinn-Bhalgain, which is the main access route. Lower slopes are deep heather and the upper slopes grass with stony/boulder areas.

The way off the summit of Braigh Choire Chruinn Bhalagain in poor weather isn't clear. My friend and I continued too far along the ridge and ended up skirting back round the mountain to find the path that carries onto Carn nan Gabhar. When we reached the summit ridge of Carn Gabhar the weather was easily the worst we'd had to deal with on the mountains for this time of year with what must have been hurricane force winds!! Pass over the large cairn (which at first we thought to be the summit), then past the trig point and eventually onto the summit cairn. Long path back to Monzie car park.
