Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn Mor Dearg lies on the E arm of the horse-shoe ridge that includes Ben Nevis and it is normally climbed with "The Ben". It has steep rocky slopes, some of them craggy, on its E and W flanks. The ascent of Carn Mor Dearg is normally made from the path up Meall an t-Suidhe to the W or the path by the Allt a' Mhuillinn into Coire Eas, and joining the Carn Mor Dearg ridge N of Carn Dearg Meadhonach. If you enjoy a scramble, and have a head for heights, continue S then SW on the ridge which becomes narrow and rocky, to form the CMD arete, and ascend the E shoulder of Ben Nevis. An ascent is possible via the E ridge of Carn Mor Dearg, but not recommended.

Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg
|
This is a more difficult ascent with some exposure and scrambling, but it avoids most of the crowds and gives a taste of real mountaineering. Navigate with care, this is a dangerous mountain for the unwary.
