Gairbeinn has a rocky summit by Monadhliath standards, standing guard at the southern end of the Corrieyairick Pass. On maps it is the same height as Corrieyairack Hill and both hills were jointly regarded as a Corbett until resurveys revealed Gairbeinn to be higher.

Gairbeinn and Corrieyairack Hill from Melgarve

Other routes and challenges

The combination with Corrieyairack Hill as described above maks an enjoyable circuit. A longer, boggier traverse would link Gairbeinn with a second Corbett, Meall na h-Aisre.
