> How tricky is Carn Mor Dearg? Disappointed views from Ben Nevis were non-existent due to mist/cloud so we are considering re-doing next year possibly later in year/summer, but my partner is not the best with heights and doesn't like ridges, even the little one on Rhyd-ddu!
As others have said, it's easier than Crib Goch. But it's hugely more exposed than the tiny "ridge" on the Rhydd-ddu path! If your partner can't cope with that then I'd steer clear of CMD.
If you want a more interesting route than the tourist path but without too much exposure, I'm rather fond of the approach from the south. Park at the head of Glen Nevis, walk up by the water slide (there's a path of sorts), then follow the ridge to Carn Dearg, on up to the summit, and descend via the east ridge of the corrie. Worth saving for a good day as there's not much in the way of paths and navigation can be tricky in mist.
