Mountain Description
|
|
|
The Devils Point is the smallest peak of the Cairn Toul group, some 200 meters lower than its lofty neighbour, but an impressive peak none-the-less. This mountain is the SE promitory of the Cairn Toul plateau with steep rock faces to the S (into Glen Geusachan) and to the E (into Glen Dee). To the W lies the the summit plateu of Cairn Toul giving easy access from the NW and to the N are steep slopes to Coire Odhar. The normal ascent route is from the Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru up the head-wall of Coire Odhar.

Braeriach, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and The Devils Point
|
Climbing is moderate but there is a lot of it. The centre km of the Lairig Ghru and the Chalamain Gap have significant boulder fields which will be hazardous in the dark.
The route is strenuous and long but rewarding. Not suitable for cycle access.

Approaching from Linn of Dee this really is an imposing sight. However the ascent from Corrour Bothy up Coire Odhair is very easy up a good, well used path. On a good day the views are excellent at the top. This was the first hill of a very long day in the Cairngorms (Cairn Toul & Sgor an Lochan Uaine also) with a bike a definite reccomendation. I took the bike as far as the small wood just before the Luibeg Burn.
