Curved Ridge, Glencoe 31st May, 2008

Myself, my youngest son, Ben and Mark went up to Glencoe today to do Curved Ridge; Ben's first time, and we went with the intention of doing it as a roped scramble. However the weather was so good, and so hot, that the rock was bone dry and no gear was needed! See map.

Our first view of Curved Ridge, just starting on the left, with the Rannoch Wall in the centre.

Ben on the lower sections of Curved Ridge.

Ben showing that we don't need a rope ( for today anyway!).

Ben making light work of the steeper sections!

Looking across to the climbers on "Agags Groove", V-Diff, on the Rannoch Wall.

Myself and Ben near the top of the ridge before heading up Crowberry Tower for lunch! Ben, down climbing the tower into the gap

Looking down Crowberry Gully, with the shadow of the tower and someone (?) against the Rannoch Wall.

Looking out from Glen Etive side of the tower, with pockets of snow still surving in the heat.

View from our lunch spot on top of Crowberry Tower.
