Geography

Càrn Mòr has moderate slopes on its eastern to southeastern side which become steep in a few places but are generally crag-free. On the west to northwestern side however the hill is steep and craggy and therefore more characteristic of its neighbours in the Rough Bounds of Knoydart.[1]

Ascents

Càrn Mòr can be climbed from Strathan in the east via its east ridge, an approach which avoids the most difficult terrain found on the western side.[1]
