Description

Attempted Schoolhouse Ridge on Ballachulish Horseshoe with George Darrah (novice).
We went well and reached 800m.
At this point there was a technical step. I climbed it and looked ahead. There was another technical step and the wind gusted so that I had to stand my ground.
In spite of GD`s enthusiasm and athleticism I decided that not know the route and in these difficult conditions, the best action was to retreat.
GD was visibly disappointed but it was the right decision.

Area : Glencoe North (Loch Leven To Rannoch Station)

This area covers the northern side of Glen Coe and the mountains north of Rannoch Moor. Notable features include the Pap of Glencoe, the Aonach Eagach ridge (home to a few kilometres of horizontal scrambling) and the remote peak of Stob na Cruiache which is generally accessed from the train station to the east. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
