    Maol Chean-dearg (933m), watch you don't twist an ankle over the stone blocks covering the summit of this Munro Mountain in the Scottish Highlands. Enjoy beautiful views across to the Torridon hills.

    This one is really one you want to save for good weather. That's not just for the views. The way up and down is scree and boulder fields for the last 1.5k. There is lots of quartzite which can be quite slippery in wet conditions. You need to be surefooted to manoeuvre the two steep sections. Besides all of that this is a lovely munro to climb and the views are well worth it.

    The bald peak, whose ascent was via a steep, wet, and loose gully, but the descent route was much better. Wonderful views.
