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.
Acting as assistant leader for Al Halewood as he took his client up Curved Ridge and down Great Gully Buttress. I got to lead Pam with Al observing for the crux section of Curved Ridge and then observed as he led us as a 3 to Crowberry Tower and the summit. I soloed/abseiled next to Al and Pam for the descent of GG buttress.
