Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgorr Ruadh is one of three Munros, between Glen Torridon and Glen Carron. Paths from Glen Carron encircle Sgorr Ruadh and Fuar Tholl but the most useful of these is the path between Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhor. A branch of this path crosses the river (no bridge) ascends to the Bealach Mhoir between Sgorr Ruadh and Fuar Tholl from where moderate grassy S slopes lead to the summit. When the water is too high to cross, continue on main path to N of mountain and ascend stony NW ridge to summit. The N face of Sgorr Ruadh has steep cliffs and should be avoided.

A superb and under-rated mountain - if it was in the southern highlands it would get a lot more recognition. It is a fantastic viewpoint, especially out to the Isles in the west and Torridon to the north. There's climbing and scrambling potential too, as well as great approach paths so its a good beginners mountain too.
