Description

Working with a 1:1 client delivering a skills day. From Ciste car park headed up to the base of the Ciste chair and conducted a number of workshops - TPS use, step cutting, emergency shelters, snowpack analysis. Fortunately the weather improved as the day went on. An early finish and a descent via An t-Aonach

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.
