The highest peak north of the A835 road to Ullapool, Beinn Dearg is big and complex, with some impressive cliffs and corries. Its smaller neighbour Cona' Mheall looks its best from said road, with the craggy south ridge seen end-on from around Loch Glascarnoch. Probably most often climbed in a four-Munro day from Inverlael, the pair make arguably a more satisfying challenge when done from the south, a circuit that allows for an ascent of Cona' Mheall's ridge. This lovely low-end scramble in a wild setting is worth the bog fest on the approach. You probably won't have much company on this round, and that's part of the appeal.

I’ve always admired the view of the hills from the Glen south of Beinn Dearg. I was working on a peatland restoration project, you probably crossed some of the gully dams on the outward part of the route
