Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Bhrotain is a large complex mountain. Its N flank forms the steep craggy S wall of Glen Geusachan, and to the NE similar slopes overlook Glen Dee. To the W and S there are moderate to gentle slopes over featureless moorland leading to Glen Feshie and Glen Geldie. The normal ascent is from the SE where moderate slopes allow access from the Linn of Dee via White Bridge using the track through Glen Dee.

Beinn Bhrotain and Monadh Mor
|
Long route on mixed terrain in the Cairngorms. Easy going on tops, but partly over featureless high moorland, so navigation will be difficult in low visibility. Cycling on the initial approach will reduce the time required for this walk.

Use a bike to travel/from Linn of Dee. Oct 98 - I cycled in alone facing a gale - bottom gear all the way - very, very windy all day. First went over the deleted Munro summit before ascending the bulk of Beinn Bhrotain - red granite boulders and then onto Monadh Mor - both clouded. By then I was so buffeted and ground down by the wind I took a calculated gamble and desceded directly off summit of MM into Glen Gueshacan. Luckily found a descent route but had to plough through deep snow and avoid large boulders and some greasy rock bands. Interesting walk back to bike through moraine humps.
