Cir Mhor stands at the centre of the northern Arran hills, a pointed granite summit where Glen Rosa and Glen Sannox meet. It reaches 798m (2618ft) and is a Corbett and a Marilyn. Caisteal Abhail (859m), the nearest higher hill, is 1.3km to the north, Beinn Tarsuinn (826m) is 2.3km south-west, and Goatfell (875m) is 2.4km south-east.
The standard approach is from Brodick up Glen Rosa, a long walk on a good path to The Saddle, the col between Cir Mhor and the Goatfell ridge. From The Saddle a steep path climbs the south-east ridge to the summit. You can also come from Sannox up Glen Sannox, though the climb to The Saddle from that side involves a loose, rocky gully.
The summit is small and rocky with steep drops on all sides. The Rosa Pinnacle on the south face is a classic rock-climbing venue.
