I left my car in the car park at the foot of Glen Etive and walked round the stock gate that prevented vehicles form heading further south-west then immediately turned right onto a forest track where I crossed a ditch and commenced the ascent of Beinn Trilleachan. This took me[…]
Moidart
In December 2018 I climbed the Corbetts, Rois-Bheinn and An Stac from Inverailort. The weather wasn’t great and the Allt a’ Bhuiridh was running high so I missed out on Sgurr na Ba Glaise so today I was back to climb it with a couple of friends who were going[…]

Isle of Skye
Beinn Dearg Bheag – I’ve climbed the Broadford Grahams, Beinn an Caillich and Beinn Dearg Mhor, on a couple of occasions but never managed to include the Hump, Beinn Dearg Bheag, so I decided to tackle it on its own from the B8083 Broadford to Elgol Road on the Isle[…]
