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 & K31/07/2022

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. Taking in the devil's point, stob coire an t-saighdeir, carn toul, sgor an lochain uaine, carn na criche, braeriachNicky C29/05/2022

Cairn Toul - Braeriach traverse - Walkhighlands route for 4 munros, done in 1 dayhummusg18/07/2021
Solo traverse of the four munros west of the Lairig Ghru from the Sugarbow car park. Set off just before 5am from the Sugarbowl - Chalamain Gap to Lairig Ghru 3.5 hrs to the bothy, which was surrounded by tents. Was up on the summit of Devil's Point by 9:15am, at which point the high cloud cover started disappearing. Over to Stob Coire an t-Saighdeir and the bouldery Cairn Toul summit, then to Angel's Peak. Long walk round to Braeriach summit where there was a large herd of reindeer. Descent down from Braeriach back down to the Rothiemurchas path and then back through the Chalamain gap to return to Sugarbowl car park. 10h 13min total time.mproudfoot18/07/2021
