Glen Coe
25-27 February
2000
Attendees: Steve R, Graeme M, Josie, Simon, Ruth, Laubie, Mark, Nina, Ken
On the Saturday Simon reports that: Steve R, Graham M, Josie and Simon went up Udlahamain (the SW'most of the glencoe munroes). Windy from the SW so decided to do it in reverse - walk up the valley and get blown back along the ridge. A good plan - we past other parties struggling doing it the book way. Great snow conditions on the top - made one wish one had opted for a climb. All in all a good day on the hill and much better than forcast.
Mark and Laubie headed off for a look at Raven's gully - a classic Glencoe grade V. After having a look (it was bare!) we headed up to D-Gully buttress and had an enjoyable wee excursion closely followed by Ken and Nina. Snow conditions were marginal but devious route finding enabled the odd entertaining section to be attacked. We probably summited and it was probably very dodgy going up the usual avalanche slopes above curved ridge.
Ruth buried her head in a french book all day with an empending exam...
[Editor notes that the work paid off, and she passed with flying colours]
The usual saturday evening's entertainment in front of the fire was followed by some unappealling weather on the sunday and an early bath.
