Itinerary description
|
Average mountaineering route, at least in the snow situation with which it was made. In summer there should not be any complications.
In fact the original route was to reach the top of the Bidean Nam Bian, but for lack of time it was finished making the descent from the pass that joins this one with the previous top the Stob Coire Nan Lochan.
As a note for the route, the last stretch of the ascent to the Stob Coire can be done by going round up to the nearby pass and cresteando after, but in this case having good snow prefer to climb much more directly through the steep channel where Send the track To do this with snow it is advisable to always wear crampons and an ice ax when having a very steep slope. If not, there is always the alternative of rodeo to the nearby hill.

The environment is the valley of Glen Coe and its "3 sisters", one of the most beautiful places of the Scottish highland, and the return is made descending through the Lost Valley, famous for the slaughter 38 people of the MacDonald clan in 1692 during the Jacobite revolution, at the hands of soldiers whom they themselves had lodged in their own homes as guests.
