Detailed route description and map

Carn Mairg circuit from Invervar

Other routes and challenges

The ascent could be done after first climbing the Corbett, Beinn Dearg, which lies to the west. One possible approach to this makes use of forest tracks beginning just west of Camusvrachan.

It is possible to ascend from the north, perhaps making use of the track up Glen Sassunn and combining with Meall Garbh.
