Mountain Description
Leabaidh an Daimh Bhuide is the highest top on Ben Avon, which is a very large and complex mountain sprawling over more than 30 square kilometers. The summit plateau is dominated by granite tors, one of which forms the summit, but it is an easy scramble. From the broad summit plateau, ridges lead in almost every direction, allowing access from Tomintoul to the N via Glen Avon, from Beinn a' Bhuird to the W and from Gleann an t-Slugain in the S. To the E of the summit lies the massive Garbh Choire with its rocky cliffs and the routes from the S and W take you close to corrie rim.
