The Cairngorms are ‘a little piece of the arctic in Scotland’ according to the SMC Munros Guide and the area contains many of the tallest peaks in the East Highlands. Ben Macdui (1309m), Cairn Gorm (1244m) and Braeriach (1296) are probably three of the better known and the whole area is full of steep corries and high plateaux. Access to the mountains is typically from Aviemore or Braemar.
Started at Ski Station and ascended onto Plateu via 1141 and headed to Ben Mc Dui via Cairn Lochan. Snow pack was pretty solid with lots of Neve and Verglass Ice.
