Description

Hiked into corrie sneactdha to potentially do Jacob’s ladder with Soph, Gee and Andy. From below, heavy snowfall recently ground looked unstable. Soph and I veered off and spent the day on lower crags and slopes practicing winter navigation strategies and avalanche awareness / testing techniques.

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.
