Description

Winter skills day with 2 clients. Climbed Fiacaill Ridge, exiting right on neve to avoid the wind. Ice axe arrest training in Coire Domhain then descended under Mess of Pottage to maximise time in crampons.

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.
