Description

Left the car at 6:30am and started the approach to the bottom of curved ridge. scrambled up the ridge until in sight of rannoch wall. we crossed over the gully and gear up at the base of the climb. The route was fantastic, great climbing the wall was loose in parts but very enjoyable with fantastic views all around, reached the top of the route 3hrs later and continued up crowberry ridge to reach the summit.

Area : Glen Coe and Glen Etive (Summer)

Glen Coe has some of the premier mountain crag trad climbing in the British Isles, especially on the various cliffs of Buachaille Etive Mor and Aonach Dubh. The Etive Slabs provide one of the few, and certainly the best, opportunity in the British Isles to savour the delights of friction granite slab climbing. For convenience, this DLOG area also includes the minor crags in Glen Etive, the granite outcrop of Stac an Eich above Ballachuilish and granite mountains between Oban and Appin (for example Ben Cruachan and Beinn Sgulaird).
