Broke rules and broke ranks on Braeriach

Valerie and Ritchie haven't been up there yet, and I walked in from Derry Lodge and Cairn Toul a few years back. So from the north it will be next time, perhaps with a wee touch of winter

Definitely shorter from Cairngorm car park than via Derry Lodge - but whichever way you go it's so worth it once you're up there.

I've enjoyed reading your report and seeing pics of the Cairngorms again. Braeriach is probably my favourite mountain, there's so much more to it than most people ever see. My first ascent was by Chalamain gap - return same way. Next was throught the Lairig Gru & onto the plateau from the Garbh Coire, camped next to the Wells of Dee & returned via Chalamin Gap. The route up Glen Einich, via Coire Dhondail is also good, but my favourite has to be from Glen Feshie, crossing the Moine Mhor with views down Loch Einich. A remote and beautiful part of Scotland. We have plans to camp out on Braeriach again sometime.

Did that route across the Moine Mhor when climbing Angel's Peak and Cairn Toul with friends who had already done Braeriach. We got to the Wells of Dee then turned south for Angel's Peak so I didn't quite make it that day and was determined to get back!
