Description

from the devils staircase car park. Up Broad buttress with two 'mock clients' roped up as soon as we were on rock, quite hard to manage given the lack of obvious belays but lots of little ledges and spikes to make use of. From the top of the ridge we took the rope off and walked to the summit to 'bag the munro'. Descended great gully buttress with two abseils to manage. Below the second ab we took off the rope and walked but with less competent 'clients' this would be tricky to manage with lots of broken ground and still some awkward steps.

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.
