Glen Coe gives a wealth of winter climbing opportunities of all grades and styles, something indeed for everyone. The cliffs are also, in the main, easily accessible which means they can become very popular. This area also includes the winter climbs on the mountains south of Glen Coe in Glen Etive, and on hills more southerly still but north of the A85 Oban road (notably Ben Cruachan). Also included are the hills of Appin and Ballachuilish, the dry tooling of Ballachuilish bridge, and the winter climbs in Ardgour (notably Garbh Bheinn).
An later than hoped for start to the day brought alpine conditions, bright sunshine and calm conditions. We were a group of 5 ( two of which were less experianced ) On the decent from An Bodach it was quickly realised that one of these group members were going to be moving a lot slower than expected. we chatted about continiuing along the ridge, explaining to the group that were likely to finish in the dark and we had to move effectivly and as quick as we could. The whole group was happy to continiue as the weather foreast was for bright sunshine and clear skies for over 15 hours.
