Mountain Description
|
|
|
Cairn of Claise is a gentle rise on the W margin of a high moorland plateau. To its W are the steep rocky slopes of Garbh-Choire, and to the S the even steeper slopes into Caenlochan Glen. Between these a winding ridge connects to the NE ridge of Glas Maol from where a path leads NW to Sron na Gaoithe and to the road. To the N and NW of the plateu are steep rocky slopes into Glen Callater but to the W of these a col leads to Carn an Tuirc from where a path descends W to the road in Glen.

6 in a day! Started at the car park at the Glen Doll reserve, traversed up Jocks Road and climbed Tolmount, then onto Carn An Turic, Carn of Claise and finally Tom Buidhe. Sat at the cairn on Buidhe deciding what to do next an dmade the decision to avoid Jocks Road going
back and traversed across to Mayar and finally Dreish. Absoluteky exhausted after the decent back to the car park but buzzing with satisfaction. Great day with my mate Steve, although weather was great there is little to make me want to go back, nothing technical here....except trying to find the unassuming 6 bumps.
