 It is a steep climb to the first Munro of Càrn Liath passing through white granite scree near the top.The route continues north dropping down to a col at to climb Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain which gives a fine view down into Glen Tilt before turning east to take in Càrn nan Gabhar.The return to Loch Moraig can be varied, going over the "top" of Airgiod Bheinn (), which translates as Silver Mountain, before dropping into the valley and picking up the track; this avoids the need to re-ascend the first two Munros.
