description Garbh Choire Mòr Overview
Garbh Choire Mòr is a large glacial cirque on Braeriach in the Cairngorms of the Scottish Highlands. Its high, shaded, northeast-facing terrain shelters snow from direct sunlight and prevailing weather, allowing patches known as the Sphinx and the Pinnacles to persist unusually late into the year. The site is closely monitored by snow researchers and hill observers because its remaining snow provides a useful record of changing winter and summer conditions in Scotland.
