Mountain Description
|
|
|
The N of the summit plateau, Dreish has some steep craggy slopes , particularly in Winter Corrie to the NNE, overlooking Glen Doll. Dreish has a short S ridge (Shank of Dreish) and a longer E ridge which connects to Mayar via a narrow col, then turns S to terminate in Hunt Hill (734m), overlooking Glen Prosen. The slope of these ridges is moderate to gentle. Access is normally via the path on the Shank of Drumfollow, or on the N ridge.

When climbing up winter corrie, very steep, crampons and axes neccessary in winter conditions. Even in summer however, great care and caution required.

Dreish and Mayar
|
The recommended route through Corrie Fee, with its attractive waterfall, has a steep section on grass through rocks. This is not very difficult, and avoids ascending and descending by the Shank of Drumfollow route. Generally an easy route.

6 in a day! Started at the car park at the Glen Doll reserve, traversed up Jocks Road and climbed Tolmount, then onto Carn An Turic, Carn of Claise and finally Tom Buidhe. Sat at the cairn on Buidhe deciding what to do next an dmade the decision to avoid Jocks Road going
back and traversed across to Mayar and finally Dreish. Absoluteky exhausted after the decent back to the car park but buzzing with satisfaction. Great day with my mate Steve, although weather was great there is little to make me want to go back, nothing technical here....except trying to find the unassuming 6 bumps.

Alternative descent: The Scorrie Ridge makes an enjoyable descent route. It is quite steep, but never intimidating, with great views into winter corrie. Not recommended if icy/snowy (grade I).

Dreish and Mayer are two superb hills. A friend and I walked in from the visitor centre at Loch Muick, did the two tops and then came round by Jocks Road - This is a long rough treck, before coming down to the end of Loch Muick and then a walk by the loch side back to the car. This is quite an undertaking, but well worth it.
