Mountain Description
|
|
|
From the summit plateau, Carn a' Choire Bhoideach appears little more than a gentle rise on high moorland, yet 500m to the N are the steep crags of "The Stuic" overlooking Loch nan Eun, and 1km to the S, steeper slopes lead down to the crags of Eagles Rock. To the NW a short ridge connects to Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, to the NE a broad ridge connects to Lochnagar, a long E ridge leads down to Loch Muick and a SE ridge overlooks the Dubh Loch. Upper slopes are gentle to moderate, but there are steep slopes overlooking the Dubh Loch and Loch Muick.

Cac Carn Beag, Carn a' Choire Bhoideach and Carn an t-Sagairt Mor
|
Lochnagar is a classic mountain with its deep corrie and steep cliffs, yet this is an easy route on paths. The other two peaks on this route are little more than high points on an undulating moorland plateau, therefore, this route is really a long walk!

Joyce's 50th Munro. Not the most glamorous of hills but a great view across to Lochnagar. Cac Carn Mor is clearly visible in the background.

Coming from Lochnagar this has to be one of the easiest ascents possible, there is very little height lost once you leave the Lochnagar summit plateau and the climb up to the top of this Munro is rather insignificant. The hill though when viewed from Lochnagar does look rather impressive, although other aspects show it as a bit of a grassy lump
