One of two remote rounded mountains (the other being Beinn Bhrotain) which are the south-eastern extension of the Braeriach - Cairn Toul plateau, separated from it by the deep trench of Glen Geusachan and from the Glen Feshie hills by the River Eidart. The most impressive features of these mountains are the steep slabby cliffs overlooking Glen Geusachan which form an almost continuous rampart and prevent any easy ascent from that glen. On their south and west sides, however, long easy slopes drop down to the Geldie Burn and the River Eidart
