Carn Bhac SW Top

About Carn Bhac SW Top

Carn Bhac SW Top is a 918.1-metre Munro Top of Carn Bhac, a 945-metre peak of the Grampian Mountains in Scotland. The parent rises in the southern Mounth, south-west of the Aberdeenshire village of Inverey; the Top itself sits within the Cairngorms National Park on the boundary of Aberdeenshire and Perth and Kinross.

Carn Bhac is one of the quieter peaks in its area, offering a good chance of solitude and reflection; climbs usually start from Inverey.

Which hill this one belongs to

Carn Bhac SW Top is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Carn Bhac (945 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 893 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
