North Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mor
Another stonking Scottish Day. North Buttress (West Route) on Buachaille Etive Mor delivered four pitches of great climbing with some glimpses of sunshine. Although a little bit of wading was required on the way in and up through the grade 1 ground to the start of the route, once on the upper buttress it was nice and (mainly) firm snow with even some ice. Sadly due to some wind we decided to not top out and abseiled back down the route to the bottom and enjoyed a leisurely walk out knowing that we would be back at the car in plenty of time before darkness fell.
