Maol Chean-dearg is a rather isolated mountain in the Coulags Forest, separated from its neighbours by a col at just below 600m. Around its northern and western perimeter it is well defended by crags, but to the south-east a broad stony ridge gives an easy ascent. The route from Glen Carron to Maol Chean-dearg starts from the A896 road near Coulags Lodge and goes along the right of way on the east side of the Fionn-abhainn for 4 kilometres, then turns left up the stalker's path to the col at the foot of the south-east ridge. Climb this ridge; there are traces of a path at first, but higher up the bouldery nature of the terrain hides any signs of a path.
