About Beinn Eighe - Ruadh-stac Mor
Ruadh-stac Mor is the highest top of Beinn Eighe, the long quartzite-capped ridge between Glen Torridon and Kinlochewe. It is a Munro and a Marilyn and sits on a spur north of the main ridge. Beinn Eighe's other Munro, Spidean Coire nan Clach, lies 2.0 km to the south-east, and Coinneach Mhor 1.3 km to the south-west. Spidean a' Choire Leith on Liathach, the nearest higher hill, stands 3.9 km to the south-west.
The usual approach starts at the Coire Dubh car park in Glen Torridon. A good path runs between Liathach and Beinn Eighe and round into Coire Mhic Fhearchair, where a lochan sits beneath the Triple Buttress. You climb a steep scree gully at the back of the corrie to the ridge, then walk out to Ruadh-stac Mor. Many walkers continue east along the ridge to Spidean Coire nan Clach.
The quartzite scree is loose and tiring underfoot, and the gully needs care in descent.
