We left nice and early and arrived at the base of curved ridge just after 8am we made our way up until we reached the based of crowberry ridge and started gearing up for the Climb. we climbed January Jigsaw before following the ridge up to the summit visiting crowberry tower. It was a great bluebird day it was fairly windy while we where climbing but when we topped out on the ridge it was fine. there was nobody else on the route but as we made our way up there where many parties making there way up curved ridge. When we reached the summit of Stob Dearg we walked along to visit the other 2 munros of Buachaille Etive Mor before descending down the path back into the glen.
Area :
Glencoe South (Loch Linnhe To Loch Etive)
The southern side of Glen Coe includes some very well-known mountains and can be split into two groups; the ones you can see from the A82 and the ones you can’t. Included in the former group is Buachaille Etive Mor, Buachaille Etive Beag, the Three Sisters and the Ballachulish Horseshoe, and in the latter, three Munros between Glen Creran and Glen Etive (Sgor na h-Ulaidh, Beinn Fhionnlaidh and Beinn Sgulaird). With huge amounts of climbing and walking in summer and winter, this area is also home to a large cairn built for Queen Victoria, or so the story goes. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
