Overcast day with cloud covering peaks. Walking with my brother again
Left the car on the main road and followed the footpath across the main road and up to the Coire nan Lochan. Followed path up to the head of the valley and curved North past the tarns and climbed up to Stob Coire nan Lochan viathe Pinnacle and South Buttresses. From the top descended briefly before heading up steep path up to the main peak of Bidean nam Bian. Dropped off the summit to pick up the ridge to the East leading to the final peak of Stob Coire Sgreamhach. From the summit we doubled back and then descended from the ridge to pick up the path leading to the Hidden Valley and back to the car. A long day and at times felt very exposed in poor weather on the top.
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.
