Glen Coe gives a wealth of winter climbing opportunities of all grades and styles, something indeed for everyone. The cliffs are also, in the main, easily accessible which means they can become very popular. This area also includes the winter climbs on the mountains south of Glen Coe in Glen Etive, and on hills more southerly still but north of the A85 Oban road (notably Ben Cruachan). Also included are the hills of Appin and Ballachuilish, the dry tooling of Ballachuilish bridge, and the winter climbs in Ardgour (notably Garbh Bheinn).
Guided Dave barber up it. No where near as wintery as we had expected. Frozen turf but no rime on the rocks. We wore crampons ut soon ditched axes. Shortroped to the base of broad Gully then pitched from there. We climbed the fin direct which was brilliant, in an awesome situation. Descended down broad Gully using a rock anchor at top then stompers until I could shortrope again.
