Mountain Description
|
|
|
Maol Chinn-dearg is one of the 7 Munros on the 14km long South Glen Shiel Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The traverse follows the scalloped rims of the corries between peaks. The ridge may be climbed in two sections E and W but individual peaks are not easily accessed and do not require individual descriptions. Maol Chinn-dearg is the most westerly peak in the E section and hence the exit point if the whole ridge is not to be traversed. The NE ridge of Maol Chinn-dearg, Druim Coire nan Eirecheanach, has a path on its crest leading down to Glen Shiel.
