Curved Ridge on Buchaille
Etive Mor
Climbing report: Saturday
26-01-02
Craig Milen &
myself climbed the curved ridge on Buchaille
Etive Mor in Glen Coe. The condition on the approach and beginning of
the climb were lean and a little wet but gradually improved as height was
gained. Snow started to fall quite heavily just before the crux, (we were
having to clear the ledges to find handholds & axe placements). Therefore
we decided to pitch this section where as previously we had been moving tegother
Alpine style. The fresh snow made the last section of the ridge a cautious
affair and the slope to the summit a real slog. Summit reached before 16:30.
