Christine Shepherd bagged Braeriach (Braigh Riabhach) on May 29th, 2005 [from/via/route] Walked from Cairngorm [with] Graeme and Adam [weather] A whiteout! - After bagging Cairn Gorm & Ben Macdui our party of six had to descend to the Corrur Bothy in sleet & heavy rain before climbing up the other side of the Lairig Ghru towards Cairn Toul. As conditions were getting worse Graeme (a trained mountain leader decided we should avoid the ridge). I agreed but some didn't, so the party split & three of us approached this summit from a safer route.

Mark Davidson hiked Braeriach (Braigh Riabhach) on May 26th, 2007 [with] Alone [weather] Showery with occasional breaks in the cloud - got very wet - Had been up Ben Macdui/Beinn Macduibh the day before so started to get very tired about half-way up.
