Description
Cairngorm via Fiacaill Ridge with Alex my novice friend. A full value Scottish day, useful teaching practice with Alex who gave helpful feedback and loved the day. Neve above 800m.
Whiteout conditions across the tops made for good micro nav practice. Strong winds throughout. Very warm in the valley.

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.
