Ruadh-stac Mor is a spur off the main ridge in the form of a cone elongated NNW-SSE it has steep stony/boulder slopes to Coire Mhic Fhearchair and steep craggy slopes to the N and E.

Ruadh-stac Mor and Spidean Coire nan Clach
|
A Scottish classic with the magnificent triple buttress in Coire Mhic Fearchair. A moderate route, but the traverse of Beinn Eighe including the triple buttress (highly recommended) is more difficult as it requires scrambling.

The scree slope, whilst eroded, is nowhere near as bad as it is sometimes made out to be. I hate scree and was dreading this bit of the hill but actually found it was really pretty easy. There's a fairly solid and less steep path if you aim quite high from the beginning of the scree chute (briefly going over a boulder field) and if you keep to the left of the scree you can walk up easy blocks like a staircase onto the ridge. Good fun in fact.

I have to disagree with Mr Schmidt and say that the badly eroded scree slope provides the most enjoyable part of the Beinn Eighe walk. Although, I do take his point that it is badly eroded. Quite simply if you don't like slippery scrambling then go the back way, from Glen Torridon.

The standard route up from the coire floor to the main ridge (behind the lochan) has degenerated into a badly eroded scree slope where a slip could have nasty consequences. Unless a new non-scrambling route can be found ordinary pedestrians may someday be unable to climb Beinn Eighe from the coire. (There is at least one non-scrambling route up from Glen Torridon, which is frequently used as a descent route.)
