    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.



    A classic low-grade mountaineering line, a journey along a snow-covered Càrn Mòr Dearg Arête is unforgettable. The sagging ridgeline, hung dramatically between the summits of Càrn Mòr Dearg and Ben Nevis, offers a continuous grade I winter traverse, revealing astonishing views across towards Ben Nevis. While the technicality is low, the outing is long and serious, so a dawn start is a must.

      Breathtaking and spectacular ridge climbing to Ben Nevis. The ultimate low mountain tour for die-hards. Should every ambitious mountain hiker have done once in a lifetime ...

        Definitely astonish and spectacular views. Walking on the ridge quite dangerous but worth to see that stunning scenery.
