Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn Aosda is an exceptionally easy ascent, starting at 650m with a track leading to the summit. The mountain is elongated with the summit at the S of the mountain and 4km long ridge leading N down to Baddoch. A smaller NE ridge is created by a corrie N of the summit and here are some steep rocky slopes. Slopes are otherwise moderate to easy. This mountain is littered with ski equipment on its S slopes.

Carn Aosda from Meall Odhar taken on the 19/04/07. The level of ski detritus at this height is depressing. My mate Ian is happy though!

A most agreeable Munro really, especially when viewed from the Cairnwell ridge. The variety of colours on the hill, grey scree, dark heather, greeny-yellow grass makes for a very good view and a good picture, particularly if their is a blue sky. The Ski paraphanalia spolis things but overall I like this Munro.

Whilst the bottom is undoubtably spoiled by all the ski equipment and the scar of constant use, the hill top gives great views north to the Cairngorms, and east, south and west to further big name tops. Best on a clear day to give the best chance of a view with minimum effort.

One of the least aesthetically appealling of the munros. Go on a day with terrible conditions and no visibility to help take the edge off your dissapointment.
