Description

Day 1 of a 5-day Introduction to Winter Mountaineering, working for the Adventurous Training Foundation Wing in Inverness. Basic winter systems/skills along 'Windy ridge' to Ciste Mhearad. Returned via Coire Cas

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.
