Sgorr Ruadh, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland.
Sgòrr Ruadh reaches 960.7 meters in elevation and features steep terraced buttresses with considerable scree slopes across its sandstone structure.
The mountain's name originates from Scottish Gaelic language, translating to 'the red peak' due to its distinct red sandstone composition.
The Northwest Highlands mountain attracts numerous climbers who document their ascents through detailed walk reports and mountaineering communities.
Most climbers begin their journey from Achnashellach in Glen Carron, following a path through Coire Lair before crossing River Lair.
The northwest face contains twenty established climbing routes and a central couloir that splits the rock face into distinct sections.
