SUMMARY

Càrn Mòr is the highest of the Ladder Hills, high above the Braes of Glenlivet. The area was renowned for whisky smuggling, and the whole range is named after the Ladder, an old pass from Glenlivet to Strathdon.
There is good Quaicycle track almost all the way straight up to the summit, it’s much shorter and not steep, we will not need to follow WH route, this short cut is perfect without bike, We will walk easy pace, follow the blue line marked in the photo straight up the summit and return the same way.
