Description

A great but tough day on Schiehallion. Winds were predicted to gust at 40mph. We thought they felt more like winds of 40mph with gusts over 50mph. I am 100KG and I was being blown around. Some minor snow showers. Most of the snow hitting us in the face was being lifted off the hill.
We had crampons and axe from fairly low down and was definitely happy to have them. On the way back down we took the opportunity to practice some axe arrest maneuvers which is always great fun

Area : Bridge Of Orchy (Beinn A'chreachain) To Schiehallion

The mountains immediately to the south of Loch Rannoch and to the north of Glen Lyon stretch all the way from Schiehallion (1083m), the birthplace of Charles Hutton’s contour lines, to Beinn Dorain (1076m) near the Bridge of Orchy. There are twelve Munros and a number of other peaks (above 800m) in the mountains list. The peaks to the south of Glen Lyon are included in the Glen Lyon to Glen Dochart & Loch Tay area.
