Mountain Description
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.
Usual access to this hill is via Garbh Chioch Bheag which connects to the munro Sgurr nan Coireachan (Glen Dessary) on the east. Alternatively it can be climbed via bealach that connects the munro [Sgurr na Ciche] on the western side.
