    An Socach is a 944m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It has a long flat(ish) plateau summit and is nestled amongst other mountain ranges, making it quite difficult to get to. I approached it from Carn a'Gheoidh, as an extension to the circuit of the three Munros west of the Glenshee Ski Centre. The biggest challenge was crossing the Baddoch Burn, which can be quite fast flowing after heavy rainfall.

      Excellent views, another great Munro in the Cairngorms. An easy ascent to here, following the wide ridge is very straight forward.
        Easy walk from old military road parking - did as a stand alone hike not on the ski-scarred loop which was a bonus. Loved it
