Day 2 of the winter trip to Crianlarich. The wind had dropped and there was the promise of sun in Glencoe.
Jen, BRad, EJ, Craig and I decided to do BEB.
At the carpark it was obvious we were going to have blue skies but we were here now so pressed on.
It was a steep climb, intially on path but then through poweder up to the ridge. Everyone was heading first to the summit by the road so we decided to head to the back summit to get solitude.
The walk was initially powder but then turned to ridge. Not to narrow but fun none the less. There was some slight cornicing that we coudl avoid and the cloud woudl break in places giving us views. At least it was nice and atmospheric.
We stopped on the sumit for food and then headed back along the ridge back tot he main body of the mountain.
By now it was like central glasgow and seemed every walking course in scotland was on the hill.
We climbed up to the summit and then decided to glissade off the top instead of taking the path back to the bealach.
Back down in no time and back to the cafe for lunch before heading home
