Listed in the SMC Munros Guide as ‘The East Mounth: Glen Shee to Mount Keen’, this area includes all of the peaks to the south and east of the A93. Still part of the Cairngorms National Park, these mountains are home to the north facing crags on Lochnagar (1155m) and the most easterly Munro, Mount Keen (939m).
Supervising a group of 9 walkers to the summit of Mount Keen via Glentanar in very wet, windy conditions. Bridges across all the river crossings meant the rising water levels wasn`t an immediate concern, although the main river had burst it`s banks by the time we returned from the summit. The Glentanar approach is the much longer one, but does give considerable shelter for most of the walk in/out thanks to the extensive forest.
