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.
Left from the Ciste Car park and ascended up the above the East Wall. Crossed the plateaux taking in four summits: Cnap Coire Na Spreidhe, Cairngorm, Stob Coire An T-Sneachda & Cairn Lochan. Did some micronav practice along the way. Intermittent cloud, especially early on.
