Description

Tom Buidhe and Cairn of Claise.gpx

Fairly miserable trudge around this loop, saturated snow made for heavy going with horizontal rain and 50mph winds not helping! Multiple equipment failure lead to a very wet descent which I mostly ran to keep warm.

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).
