South-east ridge of Bidean an Eoin Deirg A view up the south-east ridge of Bidean an Eoin Deirg. It is not a separate Munro, but is a Munro top (3428 feet / 1045 metres). This fine long ridge rises in stages, leading all the way to the summit. There is a short scrambling section on the narrow, final part which requires some care but is not technically difficult in summer conditions (left of centre in top-half of image).
