Description

Bynack More

Snow-line at 400m although turning to slush in rain. Rain turning to snow at around 500m. Significant snow deposits from Easterly winds to West aspects, kept to Eastern side of ridge-line. Small deposits of Rime on SW rock faces although certainly no crampons needed in lovely fresh, powdery snow. Visibility >20m.

Area : The Cairngorms

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.
