Mountain Description
|
|
|
Mount Keen is the most easterly Munro and an isolated mountain with tracks leading to it from the N and S making easy access by cycle. It has a conical summit cone, from which broad ridges lead S to Glen Mark, N to Glen Tanar, NE and E to connect to Braid Cairn. There are crags on the E flank of the N ridge but otherwise all slopes are easy.

Nice gentle walk to Invermark, then hard work began! but worth it though - nice view all the way to the top. We did not stay long as the mist came down fast! Managed to take picture of surrounding though!

It's a better hill than many people give it credit for. A lovely, relaxing walk in from Invermark and then an excellent path all the way to the summit. No great challenge but sometimes it's nice to enjoy an easier climb, especially when the views were great, as yesterday.

Climbed on Sun 19-Aug-2007. Nice long intro walk along valley bottom, then straight on up to the summit. Low cloud meant we couldn't see a thing!
