Managed to squeeze onto the Car Park at Spittal of Glenmuick on a gloriously sunny day in Mid Sept. Took the usual route to the summit and queued to log the pillar. Probably the busiest Munroe I have been on of late. Great position on rock outcrop for traditional pillar. Plug missing other wise all metal work intact. Stunning views on a day of great visibility. Worth a walk out to look down the North face. Equally a return route via the waterfall to the top end of Loch Muick was a delight. Done with Nozzer

vgc, stonebuilt pillar in immaculate condition. No cap or plug. On granite tor just below highest point, with a viewfinder nearby - no use today in thick mist. Cold wind, but the rain stayed off. From Glen Muick car park, straight up the Graham Top from the boat house for a sporting start, joined main path at 750m. Had summit to myself but a fair few folk on their way up even on a cold dreich morning. On descent, snuck round the back of the Corbett to bag the Yeaman Meall Gorm and its 521m top. Then a very rainy drive back to England.

A fantastic pillar...! Visited this at the end of a long long trek via four other Munro summits. Started the trek at 10ish in the morning. Got down off the summit at about 20.30 and a great day in total. Typical nice weather across all the other summits and tops but as soon as we reached the tops of Lochnagar the fog and cloud came in blocking our evening views.
