Mountaineering

It is a huge, complex hill with many ridges, summits and corries, covering approximately 40 km2 (15 sq mi) with three Munros. These are Càrn Liath (Grey Cairn) at 976 metres (3,202 ft), Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain ("Brae/Brow of the Corrie of Round Blisters", "blisters" referring to rock formations) at 1,070 metres (3,510 ft) and Càrn nan Gabhar ("Hill/cairn of the Goats") at 1,121.9 metres (3,681 ft). The mountain has patches of grey scree (see pictures) amongst grass, while heather grows quite profusely on the lower slopes and gives the hill a colourful skirt when in bloom in summer.
