The Braeriach massif is one of the coldest and snowiest places in Scotland, often offering winter climbing when lower cliffs have been stripped. The long approaches and remote locations demand considerable judgement of weather and conditions, and the vast eastern corries are serious places to climb. The rewards are almost guaranteed solitude and excellent climbing in an area of wild beauty and expansive views. Many of the cliffs are best visited early in the season before the depth of build up, and the cornices, become too large.
