Mountain Description
Sgurr Dubh Mor is an impressive peak situated 250m off the main cullin ridge to the southeast of Sgurr Alasdair which rises to a height of 944m (3096 feet).
On the south western flank of Sgurr Dubh Mor lies one of the most magnificent corries in Scotland and is called Coir' a' Ghrunnda. This corrie is also the highest corrie in the Cuillin and the ridge is only a few hundred feet above.
To the south lies the most southern munro on the Cuillin ridge Sgurr nan Eag which can be climbed alongside Sgurr Dubh Mor via a col on the southern flank.
Sgurr Dubh Mor is like all the other Cullin mountains comprising bare rock, jagged in outline and with many steep cliffs and deep cut corries and gullies combined with being composed of gabbro rock makes for superb grip and allways a memorable outing. ,Mor
