Mountain Description
Sgurr na Ruaidhe is the most easterly of the three Munros enclosing Coire Mhuillidh. It has a rounded summit at the intersection of five ridges two of which are normally used for ascent. These are the NW ridge which links to Carn nan Gobhar, and the SW ridge which leads to the path, to Glen Strathfarrar, in Coire Mhuillidh. The slopes to the N and W are generally less steep than those to the S and E and these are the slopes used for access.

wrote on July 12, 2003: 		There is a locked gate a good eight miles down the glen from the starting point, don't try to climb these hills on a Tuesday as the gate is locked all day! All other days a permit can be obtained from the house beside the gate, access is from 9 am to 6 pm so if you want to do all four munros a healthy pace is required!
