Murdos are any Scottish Mountain over 915m (approx 3000ft) with 30m (approx 100ft) of 'ascent' on all sides. There are currently 444 of them and the list includes all the Munros.
All are accessible to the average fell walker except one. Sgurr Dearg (or Inaccessible Pinnacle a.k.a. 'In Pin') on the Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye requires rope and moderate climbing skills.
