Description

Lost Valley up to Bidean then over the Lochan, down the right hand ridge.
First one in the Valley - hot work breaking trail and had to go up to the Col between the Bidean and Lochan before the main summit due to cornice hazard.
Probably should have predicted rather then deciding on the day. No issue caused though.
Ended up waiting at bus for a bit as well so could have planned a longer route to better fill the time. These are both minor things though as the day was thoroughly enjoyable with stunning views from the top.

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.
