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.
From Glenmore to Corie Odhar. Then the ridge over small crags to summit of Bynack More. A bearing was taken to the col and then another to the summit of Bynack Beag. We followed the steep NW ridge off the summit to Strath Nethy then battled the bogs back to Glenmore.
