Bynack More is the north-eastern outpost of the main Cairngorms massif, separated from Cairn Gorm by Strath Nethy and from the other central Cairngorms by the deep trench of Loch Avon. It is rather isolated and in views from the north in the Abernethy Forest it appears as pointed hill. On the south ridge a few hundred metres from the summit there are some prominent granite tors, the Barns of Bynack. The right of way following an old drove road from Abernethy to the Dee through the Lairig an Laoigh goes over the eastern shoulder of Bynack More, and gives a long but easy route to the mountain from Glenmore Lodge.
