Description

Winter skills teaching day to a group of 11. Gemma Grewar and myself clubbed the gang together and went out en mass.
The chair lift was not working so we walked to the snowline from the ski car park at Glencoe resort.
Journeying to the summit of Meall A Bhuirdh teaching as we went the group covered boots, crampons, axe arrest, self belay, daggering, navigation. The weather for the following day was appallig so we covered as much as possible in this day. Avalanche forecasts and snow packs were looked at indoors and out.

Area : Glen Etive to Glen Lochy

This is the area south of Buachaille Etive Mor as far as the A85 (Tyndrum to Oban road). It includes the peaks around the Glencoe Ski Centre (Creise and Meall a’Bhuiridh) alongside eleven other Munros and many other peaks above 600m. Highlights such as Ben Cruachan (1126m) and Stob Ghabhar (1090) remind all-comers that this is an area of high mountains and low glens.
