Mountain Description
|
|
|
Maol Chean-Dearg is one of three Munros, between Glen Torridon and Glen Carron. Paths between the two glens encircle this mountain making for easy access but the route from Glen Carron is shorter. Maol Chean-Dearg is a steep sided and rocky mountain, the summit cone in particular being boulder strewn. The less steep ascent is by the SE ridge, which has two shoulders to break the ascent from Bealach a' Choire Ghairbh. The Path from Coulags to Loch Coire an Ruadh-staic branches and ascends to the base of the SE ridge at the bealach and this is the preferred approach route.

Easy and very pretty walk through the valley past the wee bothy and over a wee bridge before the fairly steep ascent. Pathways all the way up, but we took a passer-by`s advice and tried to climb the scree on the face of it. Would have been a good route had we gone further along rather than tackling the huge car sized boulders. amazing scenery at the top, which we got a photo of that we intend to enlarge and mount proudly on the wall!! One of the most picturesque munro`s I`ve climbed so far. Recommend to all.
