As well as the two Munro summits on this plateau, there are also five subsidiary Tops. Carn Ban Mor is one of them, the only one I went over, and there are three others to the north of Sgor Gaoith. The other one is Meall Dubhag, which is actually closer to Mullach Clach a Bhlair although I suspect it is a subsidiary Top of Sgor Gaoith like the other four. It would have been fairly easy for me to have taken it in on my way across, if I hadn't been trying to reach the landrover track as quickly as possible. From the descent on the track there are some impressive views over the steep-sided Coire Garbhlach. I had wondered about using this corrie as a shortcut back to Auchlean but by the time I started looking for ways down into it they all looked too steep to actually make the route any shorter timewise. It is probably possible to get into the corrie from the very top, and I could see some signs of a path winding down at the bottom of it.
