Description

Monega Hill and Glas Maol

A glorious morning stomp through the valley in sunshine and infinite visibility. Soon changed once ascended above 700m into whiteout conditions, making for fun navigation to the various summits. Windslab not quite thick enough to support my weight so arduous slog through ankle-deep snow at times. Killer summit within final 4km not recommended! Will be returning to this loop on skis once WML is over!

Area : Braemar to Montrose (Lochnagar)

Listed in the SMC Munros Guide as ‘The East Mounth: Glen Shee to Mount Keen’, this area includes all of the peaks to the south and east of the A93. Still part of the Cairngorms National Park, these mountains are home to the north facing crags on Lochnagar (1155m) and the most easterly Munro, Mount Keen (939m).
