Glas Maol Munros from the Cairnwell Pass

Other routes and challenges

The route above could be lengthened to take in Tolmount and Tom Buidhe across the plateau.

An alternative, more dramatic approach to Cairn of Claise would be to ascend from Glen Isla, perhaps along the Monega Hill ridge of Glas Maol, or via Caenlochan Glen and Caderg.
