About this event

Viewed from the roadside on the A82 in Glencoe, Buachaille Etive Mor, or as it's more fondly called, simply the 'Bookil', is perhaps the most iconic and undoubtedly the most photographed of all Scotland's Munros. Soaring high above the vast expanse of Rannoch Moor, it's near perfect pyramidal form and symmetry draw the eye and capture the imagination. Viewed from this angle its steep rocky flanks appear seemingly impregnable to all but the most dare devil and adventurous. Thankfully, for mere mortals, there is a weakness in its defenses that allow keen walkers and Munro baggers to scale the heights and bag the mountains two Munro summits, Stob Dearg and Stob na Broige. Our route heads up Coire na Tulaich, past the historic Lagangarbh hut. Remembered in climbing folklore, it was based from this hut, owned by the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC), where many of Scotland's brilliant young climbers cut their teeth. The path up through the coire is steep and rocky and hands will be needed on a short section of easy scrambling just before we emerge onto the ridge. Only first Munro summit is only a short distance away, along a rocky and surprisingly broad ridge. The uninterrupted views from the summit across the vast, bleakness of Rannoch Moor and to innumerable distant peaks beyond is incredible. A just reward for all the effort that's for sure. From the summit of Stob Dearg we retrace our steps before continuing along the fine, zig-zagging grassy ridge. It's not all plain sailing however, as we traverse over two intervening Munro 'Tops' on-route to our second Munro of the day, Stob na Broige. With most of the hard work now behind us, what better place to enjoy a well-deserved break than from this lofty summit, enjoying the sensational views out down to Glen Etive, to Loch Etive and beyond. After taking in our fill of the views we will start our leisurely descent down to the glen, through the historic pass of the Lairig Gartain.
