Sgorr Ruadh
Sgorr Ruadh ( gd, An Sgùrr Ruadh) is a mountain between Strath Carron and Glen Torridon in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It is located in Coire Lair near Achnashellach along with two other mountains, Beinn Liath Mhòr and Fuar Tholl, and is often climbed together with one or both of these other mountains. Geography Sgurr Ruadh is an attractive peak with Munro status which reaches a height of 962 metres (3156 feet), it is made up of red sandstone (hence its translated name of Red Peak) and shows many of the characteristics of the Torridon Hills to the west, in that it has steep terraced buttresses and considerable scree slopes. The north west face has precipitous cliffs which should be avoided by walkers, although these crags attract rock climbers with around 20 recognised traditional and winter climbs. The centre of the crag is split by a large couloir (gully). There are plenty of easier routes on the crag. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Corbetts
This is a list of Corbett mountains in Scotland by height. Corbetts are defined as Scottish mountains between in height with a prominence over ; solely imperial measurement thresholds. The first list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a Bristol-based climber and Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") member, and was published posthumously, after his sister passed it to the SMC, in the 1953 edition of ''Munro's Tables''. Corbetts are the next category down from the Munros and Munro Tops in terms of height (e.g. below the threshold), but their explicit prominence threshold of , ensure they are material peaks. By definition, all Corbetts, given their prominence, are Marilyns. The SMC keeps a list of Corbetts. , there were 222 Corbetts in Scotland. 21 of these 222 Corbetts have a prominence that exceeds the P600 threshold of , which would class them as "Majors". The highest Corbett, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, at is just below the threshold for a Munro, a status it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
