Standing at a remove from the Cairn Gorm plateau, Bynack More offers expansive views of the big hills around the Loch Avon basin, and out over Abernethy Forest to Speyside. Defined by the deep glens of Strath Nethy and the Lairig an Laoigh, it's sufficiently distinct from surrounding land to be done, by most, as a single-peak outing. The main selling points, the huge tors of the Barns of Bynack and the surprisingly shapely north ridge, can easily be seen on the standard out-and-back through Ryvoan Pass; but as an ascent that's a bit of a plod. A start from the Coire na Ciste car park offers a less-trodden and more challenging alternative via wild Strath Nethy. To complete a circuit, return by the Ryvoan path for a scenic finish through Glen More's pine woods.
