Penultimate Munro recompletion summit. From Whitewell, cycled up to Loch Einich then path to a cairn about 3km west of summit, at 1010m. There is a steep, worn out section of the path at about 950m that requires care and hands. From the cairn, a steady, slightly U-shaped ascent to col W of summit should avoid boulders or re-ascent. Final ascent is low gradient but here boulder ground is unavoidable. The track to Loch Einich forks at 350m, west track is stony and almost too steep to push up or safely ride down. East route is less steep but most of it is no more than a path.Topographer5710/06/2023

Braeriach - Cairn Toul traverse ... Day one/Day two - Beautiful sunny day with some high cloud on day one ... Camped near the top of Sgor an Lochain Uaine at around 8pm ... Enjoyed a dry and windless night with a clear Scottish sky full of stars!... Up at 4am, a little cold and damp after a bit of a restless night spent in our single skin Bivi tents ... Walked to the summit at about 6am with some early morning mist rolling in ... No view at the top.R & K01/08/2022

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
