Ben Klibreck

Ben Klibreck ()Ben Klibreck - Beinn Chlìbric Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba is a Scottish mountain located in central Sutherland. It is an isolated mountain, rising above a large area of moorland. The highest point, (the mound of the dogs), rises to elevation and is therefore the second most northerly Munro after Ben Hope ().The Munros (SMC Guide), Donald Bennett et al., The western side of the hill is a fairly uniform steep, heathery slope, while the eastern side has a series of large, grassy corries and has been described as having more character.The Munros: Scotland's Highest Mountains, Cameron McNeish,

Numerous ascents of Ben Klibreck are possible. It can be climbed from Crask to the south or Altnaharra to the north, but the easiest and most popular route is from the A836 to the west, by way of Loch nan Uan and up steep slopes to the summit ridge, which is then followed to the summit.

Ben Kilbreck and the land surrounding it are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) by NatureScot due to its geological features, alpine heathland, blanket bog, lochs and woodland.
