Carn Dearg [Glen Eachach South] (Click to enlarge)
Carn Dearg Beag (extreme left) and Creag Corrag of the Carn Dearg (768m) group. Note the parallel roads which are shore lines of an ancient loch and they lie at 325m and 350m.
This is the Carn Dearg (768m) which lies to the S of Gleann Eachach. Carn Dearg has a conical top from which ridges run SW to Sron a' Ghoill, and SE to Carn Dearg Beag (680m) where this ridge branches S to Creag Corrag and E to Glas Beinn (648m). The lower S slopes of Carn Dearg are very steep, but a less steep ascent is posssible from the junction of Glen Turret and Gleann Eachach, WSW of the summit or by the Allt na Glas Bheinne to the SE. The S slopes are steep with unusual shelves known as the parallel roads, which are believed to be the shorelines of an ancient loch.
Steeper lower slopes S of Carn Dearg (815m) can be avoided by a long walk up Gleann Eachach, otherwise slopes are moderate to easy. Carn Dearg (768m) has steeper S slopes, so choose your route with care.
