In the rolling ground southwest of Braemar, Beinn Iutharn Mhòr is a fairly complex mountain sitting at the head of Glen Ey. Beinn Iutharn Mhòr's crests and shoulders stretch out above sloping corries and link to other minor summits, including the Munros of Càrn Bhac and Càrn an Rìgh.
After cycling down Glen Ey, a direct ascent of Beinn Iutharn Mhòr can easily be made up its north-eastern shoulder. But with several other Munros surrounding Beinn Iutharn Mhor, perhaps it would be more worthwhile heading up from other directions to also hike over nearby Càrn Bhac and Càrn an Rìgh.
