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.
Buachaille Etive Mor Wildcamp at 750 metres. Took the ridge to the west of Tullaich on the ascent although most people went through the Corrie. walked up to Stob Dearg Summit and went along the ridge to Stob na Doire, but turned back before the summit due to time and high winds (And having a campsite to find). We had pin pointed a possible campsite on ascent , so we fine tuned this search before flattening a slight sloping pitch with snow which we back filled with our snow shovel. We pitched the tent, making sure that it was well pegged out with stronger pegs, boulders and ice axes. We settled in for the night and endured some strong gusts and constant snow. The next morning we had to break camp in white out conditions with strong winds.
