Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Dearg is the highest and most impressive of its group. It is a massive mountain with crags lining its N and E faces, most impressive of which are the magnificant cliffs of Coire Ghranda, which separates Beinn Dearg from Cona' Mheall. An ascent can be made via the S ridge, starting from the road by Loch Droma, but this requires crossing the Allt a' Gharbhain which is risky in all but the driest weather. There is however a path from Lochdrum onto Meall Feith Dhiongaig which will take you higher to cross smaller burns. Other possible access route are via the NW ridge, which forms the S wall of Gleann na Squaib, direct from the bealach at the head of Gleann na Squaib up the steep narrow NE ridge, or on paths from the A835 at Braemore Junction.

In winter conditions this hill is quite a hard ascent from Inverlael, not far from point 886m it is possible to follow a dry stone dyke most of the way up but with deep snow this was quite tough. A fine mountain though with good views of The Fannaichs; and when added with Cona' Mheall and Meall nan Ceapraichean makes a fine circuit in full Winter conditions which took 8 hours (23/11/06)

An imposing hill, I prefer to walk in from the south rather than Inverlael as the corrie/lochan between (and ridge over) Conival is superb and usually deserted.
