Mountain Description
Carn Liath and Culardoch (Corbett) lie either side of the Bealach Dearg and are usually climbed together. The walk in is quite long, which adds to the logic of bagging both hills in a single expedition. Carn Liath has two tops on the summit ridge, an un-named top (862m) to the NW and Carn Liath (862) to the south east (Corbett Baggers are recommended to visit both tops incase future technology indicates the second top to be the true summit). Carn Liath is almost divided in two by two corries, Liath-choire Mhor to the NE and Coire Glas Allt Beag to the SW. From the 862m top a long ridge runs SSW to Meall Glasail Mor (676m) and from Carn Liath a parallel long ridge runs SSW to Meikle Elrick (709m), with a spur E to Creag a chait (649m).
