    Tips

    November 29, 2023

    Despite being the ninth highest Munro, Càrn Mòr Dearg is best known for the rocky, narrow ridge that connects to its rather burly neighbour, Ben Nevis. It's perhaps the quality of its famous ridge and its proximity to the biggest mountain in the land that means Càrn Mòr Dearg's summit is rarely the main objective.

    However, a fine summit it is! It's relatively remote and takes a good deal of effort regardless of starting point. In terms of ascents, its east ridge gives good entertainment, while the more serious east ridge of Càrn Dearg Meadhonach is another good option. However, most access the summit from Coire Leis, via a steep slog up its western flanks.
