  • Went on bag a Munro for meningitis , first i had been ,The idea was to bag a munro and raise some money for a good cause . I had never been hillwalking so did,nt have a clue when someone said they would take me on the curved ridge of Buachaille Etive Mor . This was an experienced mountain guide ( four seasons etc ) so thought i was in safe hands and would be a nice day out !!!!!!!!!!!!! .What a way to lose your virginity ! .After the event , i would not have missed it for the world .

  • @only1barneyrubble Nice one for your first. Next, head across the A82 to The Aonach Eagach.

    Done both now and I can assure you that AE Ridge is much harder as its UP aand DOWN whereas this is just UP which is the easier of the 2! Check my vids of each in utube.

  • buckle looked fierce the other day....must climb this tower ridge route - in summer - think i'll leave that route to the scottish hillary types.

  • @tarbowtin Technically I would rate Curved Ridge around 1/2 a grade harder than Aonach Eagach. It has a completely different character -steeper parts are more like a rock face than a ridge- and has quite a serious feel about it. Good holds can always be found, nevertheless, nervous or novice scramblers may want reassurance of rope on steep pitches. Great route.

  • how does the Curved Ridge compare to the Aonach Eagach scrambling wise

  • Did this last week - fantastic route. Had watched your video before hand and found it very helpful. Great commentary, but you are an expert after all -LOL

  • @admcotter Ah a thought so, anyhow great video, going to try it this summer hopefully.
