Description

As per previous day, from Glen Etive to the summit via the broad rib on Creag Dhubh. Very slow moving with 10 film crew and 2 contestants. On the summit for 2 hours filming before descending through the ski centre. Some cloud in and out above 800m and lots of management of the group due to novices on the hill and camera operators darting around for the perfect shot.

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.
