Càrn na Caim Terrain Block
Càrn na Caim is a vast, rolling plateau Munro located near the Drumochter Pass. Its name 'Cairn of the Curve' describes the shape of the corrie rim. While the ascent from the A9 is relatively short, the plateau itself is featureless and difficult to navigate in mist. In winter, it becomes an arctic wasteland, requiring good skills.
