Creag a' Bhragit

About Creag a' Bhragit

Often overshadowed by its neighbor Beinn a' Chroin, Creag a' Bhragit is the rocky eastern shoulder that keeps map-readers on their toes. It’s a 923-meter lump of Crianlarich schist that spent years arguing with surveyors over which bump was actually the highest point in the neighborhood.
