Re: The Aonach Eagach

Just for info Rekrab I wouldn't say that the Clachaig Gully is the traditional way as there has been several fatalities on this route including someone earlier this year.Also if you check most guide books they recommend descending south of the last summit giving you fine views of the Pap of Glencoe ...

Re: BBC Munro's documentary to air

Yes it was a good programme and the filming of the In Pin was excellent.I climbed this 7 years ago and it brought back some memories that's for sure! Nick Crane seems like a nice guy but his pronunciation of some mountain names seemed a bit sketchy at times to say the least.Without wanting to sound ...

Re: Aonach Eagach Ridge

Yep I think the vids are ok but I agree with you skuk that once you get some more experience you will be more confident for this type of thing.Also someone who has done the ridge before to go with you and you will be fine.

Re: Eating out!

If you are ever in Llanberis in Wales in the Snowdonia area there is a fine cafe called Petes Eats which is very much orientated for mountain loving people.I finished the 3 peaks there a few years ago and fancied a fried breky,I don't know what it was called but it was a heart attack on a plate! Nee...

Beinn Alligin

We made the trip up to Torridon on Monday and hoped to go out on Tuesday but due to very low cloud we decided to give it a miss until the next day.We got up the next morning with the cloud above the summits so it was all systems go for a classic day.I had climbed Beinn Alligin before by ascending up...

Re: Aonach Eagach Ridge

Hey guys and I have just posted a report today about the Aonach Eagach Ridge with some pics if that's any help.It was my wifes' 7th and 8th Munro and she managed it well enough.A full traverse is worth while and if you are not so confident then get an experienced partner to go with you.It was my 3rd...
