Description

Wanted to do some routes on Coire Sputan Dearg, but way too loaded. We did most of main spout, but backed down due to windslab high up. Did some coaching of sliding to a novice friend, then headed up Derry Cairngorm to finish. Cracking day, loads of sun!

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.
