Description

Route: Schiehallion E Ridge via Dun Coillich as a starter peak.
Group: Myself and 1 other equal client
Conditions: Calm before the storm but still very windy. Snow line started at around 400m but thaw meant much of the cover was soft and slushy . Thin covering.
Notes: This was not our first choice of route but due to impending storm and challenging avalanche and wind conditions on higher peaks we decided to bag this one before the main winds hit. Easy quick day and off the hill before the 60k winds struck.

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.
