Mountain Description
The summit of Carn Dearg lies at the intersection of three broad ridges, the longest running SSE almost 4km to Sron Leachd a Chaorainn (737m). A short ENE ridge leads steeply down to more gentle slopes and on to a broad boggy beallach, the Mam Ban, to connect Sgor Gaibhre. NW of the summit a third ridge splits to produce a W and a N branch. The E slopes are generally steep and rocky, whereas the W are slopes have a gentle incline. The normal ascent from Corrour is via the easy slopes of NW ridge.

wrote on July 10, 2006: 		Recent trip from Loch Ossian YH - Carn Dearg and Sgor Gaibhre - 0930 until 1730. Long walk out to Rannoch station and waiting Car (3hrs +). Suggest if not using train and approaching from South then cycle in and leave bike 1/2 mile beyond bridge where you will meet Road to the Isles on your descent route from Corrie alongside stream.
