Description

Chris Walker Trust SAIS Avalanche Awareness Day. Based from Glenmore Lodge.
Morning spent discussing current thinking on Avalanches. Then a quick jaunt up from the Ciste car park to look at some snow on a shortish journey. Discussions ranging from forecasting, planning, relevance of pits and tests whilst journeying and teaching levels.

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.
