16km with 700 metres of ascent

On this straightforward outing we tick this eastern Grampian Munro. Beginning at Baddoch we follow the burn on a track up to Coire Fhearneasg where we ascend west up to the shoulder of the east top. From here easy walking takes us west to the summit. Return will be by the same route.

The days will involve a high top, either a Munro or one of our finer Corbetts, so you will need to have previous hill walking experience. Once the snow gets firm enough for winter tactics to come in to play folk need to have the skills to cope with conditions. Our Intro to Scottish winter skills course is recommended for anyone needing to learn the basics or improve rusty technique. All winter High Tops are weather dependent. If there is a high avalanche risk on the slopes we’re planning to go on to we will change the route or the hill. If storm winds are blowing we may have to take in a shorter, lower hill.

Previous winter walking experience, or completion of a recent winter skills course, is an essential prerequisite for these walks.
