Càrn Mòr , from Loch Arkaig

Càrn Mòr is a little known peak amongst the rugged mountains just south of Knoydart, taking the form of an east-west ridge between Glen Dessary and Glen Pean. The western half is as complex and rocky as the renowned Rough Bounds; this route ascends via the east ridge, giving a rugged hillwalk with some good views.

Terrain

Good track initially (a mountain bike could be used for this section), then pathless ascent up steep, boggy hillside. The ridge is mostly grassy but dotted with steep knolls and rocky outcrops.
