Mountain Description
|
|
|
Bynack More is an elongated conical top orientated N to S on the E margin of a high plateau that supports two other peaks Bynack Beg (964m) to the NW and A' Choinneach (1017m) to the S . Most slopes leading to the plateau are fairly steep and there are some rocky outcrops. The normal ascent routes are from the N via the crest of Bynack Mores N ridge, or from the Saddle overlooking Loch Avon via the SW ridge of A' Choinneach. Either way it is a longish walk in.

This excellent mountain makes for an easy day's walk from Glenmore Lodge. This was my first full winter climb and I would reccommend it to those who are looking to start winter walking with everything that goes with it. We were lucky to have superb weather and your camera will be used to the max. The whole route in deep snow etc. took 6 hours.

Good hill, made more fun by climbing it in gale force winds with two nights gear on our backs as part of a mountain proficiency course. Came in from the north and carried on down the east side into the glen to camp at fords of avon. Stunning views south and the barns make a good photo oppurtunity!!

Excellent walk on tracks and interesting views, of centre of cairngorms. From summit if weather is good, it is possible to continue on and include Beinn Mheadhoin and Cairngorm in superb circuit taking 10 hours, good idea to leave a bike at Coire Cas car park to speed descent to Glenmore Lodge.
