Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Broad Cairn is a cone elongated E to W. To the W a broad col connects to Cairn Bannoch via Cairn of Gowal (983m) and also bears NW to Creag an Dubh-loch. There is a short broad S ridge and longer E ridge with a vehicle track leading towards the summit (this is the normal ascent route). The track becomes a path which follows the contours to the S of the summit. Broad Cairn has a steep and craggy N face but all other slopes have moderate to gentle inclines.

I walked the circuit of Loch Muick in July 2003. I strongly recommend doing the circuit clockwise to make the last Munro Cac Carn Beag. Having walked this route anti-clockwise I found the descent from Broad Cairn a pain. The path up to Cac Carn Beag in contrast was excellent so would be better for walking down. There were hundreds of people on Cac Carn Beag but only 1 person the rest of the day.
