Description

Neither of us fancied committing to the crux with the prospect of hitting the ledge, so we backed off and did Temple of Doom instead. Seemed very pokey for E3.

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).
