Towering above the head of Glen Lochay, Creag Mhòr is a sprawling mountain with steep, rugged slopes, its undulating summit standing where three broad shoulders meet. Although much of the mountain is grass-covered, its north-eastern face is steep and gives the mountain its imposing appearance.

To the south-west of the summit, a broad crest leads towards the subsidiary summit of Stob nan Clach, together forming the high ground above Coire Cheathaich. To the north, another shoulder extends over Meall Tionail, a minor top that falls just short of qualifying as a Munro Top.

When approaching Creag Mhòr via its south-eastern shoulder, Sròn nan Eun, a series of subtle rises and false summits can make the final approach seem longer than expected, particularly in mist.

Climbed from Glen Lochay, Creag Mhòr can be combined with neighbouring Beinn Sheasgarnich, from which it is separated by a broad bealach around 400m below.
