Mountain Description
|
|
|
Chno Dearg has a gently rounded summit but with some crags to the E and SE. There are ridges NE, branching to Meall Chaorach (815m) and Meall Dhearcaig, and another broader ridge runs NNW towards Fersit, all have easy slopes and are potentially boggy. A short ridge SE has steep and craggy slopes, and a fourth ridge SW connects to Meall Garbh (976m) and Stob Coire Sgroidain (979m) via a broad bealach. Normal ascent is from Fersit via Creag Dubh and Meall Chaorach to avoid the worst of the boggy ground, or from Stob Coire Sgroidain.

Climbed these together with Beinn na Lap but what a long day! Loads of wet bog to negotiate in the lower glens too

Yes we were the weekend of the violent storms (Jan 2005). Had to make do with just battling up to Chno Dearg and leaving Stob Coire Sgriodain for another day. Zero visability, strong winds and snow. Too much snow in gullies on Stob Coire Sgriodain for ascent. The long, seemingly never ending grind up the slopes of Chno Dearg were worth it in the end.
