Loch Nevis from summit of Sgurr na Ciche

Garbh Chioch Mhor is a munro in the heart of remote wilderness between Loch Arkaig, Loch Quoich & Loch Nevis lying at the head of Glean Dessary. Although Garbh Chioch Mhor is beyond Knoydart's true boundaries it remains closely associated with the name 'the Rough Bounds'.
Garbh Chioch Mhor has a long rocky ridge with it's summit point standing on the western site of the mountain. There is a drystone wall that runs along its crest and drops to Bealach na h-Eangair, this simplifies navigation in difficult weather as it's quite rocky, roug terrain.

Summit Cairn, Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich

Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich rises on the north of Loch Fannich and is in the eastern section of The Fannaichs. It's connected to Sgurr Mor (Loch Fannaich) on the south-west by a rocky ridge which makes Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich feel smallish as Sgurr Mor is the highest in the range. All sides are generally moderate grassy slopes with exception of the far northern flank which contains a few crags. The summit point is marked with a tiny cairn.

Usual access is from Sgurr Mor's fsouth-western ridge and is usually climbed alongside Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich in some combination.
