Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Carn Dearg is located in the centre of a ridge more than 3km in length running from Dollaid a' Chairn (925m) in the WSW (which connects to Geal Charn) to a minor top (827m) overlooking the crags of Coire Sron an Nid to the NE. The flanks of this long ridge are steep in places and the higher slopes of the summit are rocky. Normal ascent routes are from Culra bothy onto NE ridge or from Geal Charn via Dollaid a' Chairn.

Carn Dearg [Alder region]
|
This easy but long route which makes it more of an expedition. Cycling to Loch Pattack will reduce the route time. From Loch Pattack the remaining distance is 11 km, ascent 624m and time 5.5h, so cycling will make it quicker.

worth considering adding to a route from Culra bothy via lancet edge taking in Geal charn, Aonach Beag and Beinn Eibhinn and returning via Dioallaid a'Chairn ridge to Carn Dearg, makes an excellent finale above culra bothy. Superb high level walking on good surface with minimum descents. Took our party of 4 just over 8hrs from bothy to bothy. Cycled in on fri night in 1.5 hrs, excellent bothy, 3 seperate bothies in 1 building really.
