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.
I did Bidean nam Bian via Dinnertime Buttress with a scrambling Meetup group. It was a lovely day, very sociable, but I was a bit disappointed with the scrambling (or lack of). Apparently we should have been scrambling near the river, but the rocks were too wet due to recent rainfall. The scrambling there was was not very exciting and was over very quickly. However it was still an enjoyable alternative way to the summit.
