About Carn Ghluasaid

Càrn Ghluasaid can be accessed via a well-maintained stalkers' path originating from the northern shores of Loch Cluanie. On the opposite side, the mountain dramatically descends in a series of rugged crags into Coire Sgreumh. Although it stands as a Munro in its own right, Càrn Ghluasaid is essentially a minor subsidiary peak of the more prominent Sgùrr nan Conbhairean. If you approach from the direction of its parent peak, you'll find that the ascent involves less than 60 meters of climbing. This makes it a relatively straightforward addition for those already tackling Sgùrr nan Conbhairean.
