A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
Creag Mhor is an extremely remote hill, the highest point in a high tract of land to the SE of the Munro Ben Klibreck.

Creag Mhor lies just over 3km to the S of the Graham Ben Armine and given the remote location of these two, it makes sense to climb them together.

Any approach to these two hills whether from the N or S is long, and a bike may best be advised.
