A rocky Munro next to Ben Nevis, linked to it by the fine curving ridge known as the CMD Arête
Open accessScotland's right of responsible access applies
Carn Mor Dearg is a 1,221m Munro — a Scottish hill over 3,000 feet — set right against the flank of Ben Nevis, close enough that the two share a broad hollow, or corrie, between them. The reason to come is the CMD Arête, a narrow curving rock ridge (an arête) that runs from Carn Mor Dearg round to the summit of the Ben. Walking it is one of the finest mountain days in the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe hills, a hands-on crest with big drops on both sides, though it wants a steady head and a dry, clear day. The usual approach starts and finishes in Glen Nevis near Fort William, a long and rough round by any line.
