The Brack

The Brack is a mountain, located in the Arrochar Alps, on the south side of Glen Croe, near Loch Goil in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. The Brack has two summits: the lower peak, Cruach Fhiarach, can be seen from the shores of Loch Long, and the main peak is seen from Glen Croe and Loch Goil.

The Brack is in the Ardgoil range, which is located on a peninsula bounded on the west by Loch Goil and Loch Long on the east, both lochs being arms of the Firth of Clyde. The Brack is connected by ridges to Ben Donich and Cnoc Còinnich, and is surrounded by a number of higher peaks. It is classified as a Corbett. The Loch Lomond and Cowal Way passes to the south of the peak, over the bealach separating The Brack from Cnoc Còinnich.

The Brack is usually climbed from Glen Croe, often in conjunction with Ben Donich. A traverse of the mountain can also be made by linking the direct ascent from Glen Croe with a descent via the south west ridge to the head of the Coilessan Glen. It may also be climbed from Lochgoilhead. Glen Croe, the Arrochar Alps, Ardgartan and Loch Goil are home to pine martens and eagles because of the rugged terrain.
