Braeriach - Cairn Toul traverse ... Day one - Beautiful sunny day with some high cloud ... fantastic views! ... Had a bit of a rest at the summit at about 2.30pm ... The summit of Braeriach is a dramatic place on a clear day with epic views over the immense cliffs and across the corries to Cairn Toul and Sgor an Lochain Uaine and over to Ben Macdui looming over the Lairig Ghru. | R & K | 31/07/2022 |

Loop from sugarbowl carpark, out through lairig ghru and high level traverse back 38.5km in 10hrs 30.shocking weather and very tricky terrain at times. I'd reckomend staying in the bothy rather than doing it in a oner.
