Mountain Description
|
|
|
Moruisg is a steep sided mountain with easier slopes near the summit. Its craggy W slopes form the E wall of Coire Toll nam Bian, with the col at the head of the corrie leading to Sgurr nam Ceannaichean. NW from the summit the easy to moderate slopes facilitate ascent from Glen Carron. NE of the summit there are steep slopes down to a boggy plateau. S of the summit the slopes are intially gentle then fall steeply, yet there is path on this slope down to Glenuaig Lodge where a track returns to Glen Carron.

Concern is shown regarding the bridge crossing of the Carron.
There are now 3 scaffold planks & 3 railway sleepers in place across the iron girders which make the crossing that much easier.

Our group went to climb this mountain last week (11/7/02). On arriving at the bridge over the Carron, we discovered that the "bridge" consists of 3 iron girders and no planks. It's not advisable to try to cross on a windy day. Alternate route is from Craig up the forest track to the stalkers path, which zigzags up the south side of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean and on to Moruisg.
