Back to Black - Curved Ridge

The Buachaille and Curved Ridge



Our last outing had been scuppered by high winds and too much snow and this time the constant was the wind but the disappointment was the disappearing snow. Still expecting some snow we soon realised as soon as we saw the famous view coming out of Rannoch Moor that it was going to be a scramble. The forecast had predicted the temperature to drop overnight but this had not happened as early as planned with it still registering 5 degrees at the foot of the mountain.

We headed round to curved ridge and had an enjoyable scramble then a face blast from the summit down in snowy windy conditions. Good fun and good to be out. Wonder if this weekend will bring a freeze and return to winter :wink:

Great vid - really enjoyed it. It gives an excellent impression of the CR in those type of conditions, and brought back some fond memories from the end of last May. Thanks for this.

I'd like to do it again in really clear weather....

Great video as usual. Been up curved ridge on a nice summer's day but think it would cross the excitement/fear thresshold for me in winter! Maybe one day in some sort of virtual reality suit.
