Starting at the ski center it's a fairly gental walk around the right side of Carn Gorms shoulders, you will then see two horseshoes in the distance these are the left one's routes, around another 30 minutes walk and you will be at the rocky bottom of the faces, watch your step as theirs a stream to the left and a big bolder field under that snow. Usualy well used so best sticking to foot prints. After climbs you can head Easy and bag Carn Gorm or head back down the way you came, Windy Col is an ideal route to walk up and down.
