Ruadh Stac Mòr, 'big red stack', takes its name from the russet sandstone boulders that cover its summit. It's one of the remotest Munros in Scotland, deep in the Fisherfield and Letterewe wilderness, and every approach means hours of rough or boggy walking. The top has a trig point, with the true high point an outcrop a few metres to the south, and rocky buttresses drop to Fuar Loch Mòr below.
