Glen Coe has long been in the forefront of high standard
mountain routes, two hour's travelling time for the majority of those living in
Scotland, and with unrestricted access granted through the purchase of much of
the area for what was then the National Trust for Scotland.
The rough
lavas of the Buachaille and Bidein nam Bian's outlying hills provide many highly
enjoyable wall routes, with the glassy granite slabs on Beinn Trilleachan as a
suitable foil, while there are numerous classic winter climbs.
Take the
ferry across Loch Lhinne to Ardgour and savour the superb gneiss crags on Garbh
Bheinn. Further on, savour the newly described crags of Ardnamurchan and escape
the madding crowd at the same time.
