Càrn Dearg Summit (Loch Pattack)

Hiking

5.0

(5)

With a Gaelic name translating to ‘Red Peak’, it’s perhaps unsurprising that there are numerous mountains by this name in Scotland. This particular Càrn Dearg is a Munro, lying to the north of Ben Alder, in the vast and remote landscape between Loch Ericht and Glen Spean. Rising to 3,392 feet (1,034 m), the mountain is exceptionally remote and requires an extensive walk-in combined with a wild camp.

    Tips

    Hiking

    Carn Dearg is a 1,034m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. I ascended this mountain up a pathless slope, direct from Culra Bothy (now closed due to Asbestos exposure risk). It was as steep and grassy hillside and tough going (especially as we'd climbed Ben Alder and Beinn Bheoil earlier the same day). It is possible to connect this Munro with Geal Charn and add in Lancet Edge, an exposed ridge which would require some scrambling (up to grade 1).

    Hiking

    Munros north of Ben Alder are usually tackled anti-clockwise, beginning the day here. A pathless grassy slope from Curla bothy is the best ascent, and the summit is marked with a large cairn.
