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).
Personal walking day with 3 friends - weather cleared up overnight, and was quite pleasant lower down. There was a strong wind gusting over the summits which made progress difficult along the broad ridge of An Socach. On the return journey, we caught a prolonged burst of rain which made for a wet end to the day again.
