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.
Park Corie Cas, up to 1141m practicing security on steep ground, avalanche observations, movement techniques. Team of skiers releasing a 10m wide slide into Corie Cas which was interesting to see and compare to my column test. Descend into Corie an t`Sneachda to moraines to do more steep ground belays and movement. Walk out.
