Description

Winter ML Training D6.
Waded up to the base of Cass Ridge for much better snow anchors. Found some firmer snow for crampon progression and games. Back to Aviemore for round-up and debriefs.

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.
