Description

From the Glen Etive road (bridge at 227m). With a film crew, team of 3 instructors and 10 crew. Recce for a filming day the following days, crossed the Etive and followed the broad rib to Creag Dhubh 748m towards the ski tows. Then up on the western edge of the ski centre to the summit. Stayed on the summit for approximately 2 hours preparing a hut for filming the next day. Returned to the ski centre following the easiest line through the ski tows.

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.
