Description

This was our second day scrambling with the guide who had led us on the Curved Ridge scramble. This time he took us on an easier scramble, the Zig Zags of Gear Aonach. It was a lot of fun and we practised sitting belays, however the weather was rainy and the rocks were wet, so we turned back without reaching the summit.

Area : Loch Linnhe to Loch Etive (Glencoe South)

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.
