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.
Walking as a small group(4)from the Lagangarbh hut ascending Stob Dearg via Coire na Tulaich. We elected to leave the path and scramble to the 902 spot height during ascent, to avoid old snow at tthe head of the Coire. After summitting Stob Dearg we traversed the whole ridge to Stob na Broige before doubling back to decend behind Stob Coire Altruim. Here again old snow necessitated finding a careful alternative route to gain the path. The weather became extremely poor with heavey rain on the decent requiring careful foot placement on steep greasy rock and offering support to companions on sections. I proposed this route and was responsible for navigation during the day.
