Description

Walked into climb the dorsal arete which never happened, did some navigation practice. snow level was from 600m , crampons were required further up in places. the snow was deep, settled in drifts with plenty of wind slab evident.
After playing up forked gully, we returned via the same route, crampons required all the way down to the bottom of the snow line due to trodden compacted snow.

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.
