The Aonach Eagach...

First major hill-walking trip of the year to Glencoe this past weekend.  A group of us tackled the Aonach Eagach Ridge on the north side of Glencoe...here is map of the hike:

The ridge is composed of two Munros and two tops and the hike is rated as a Grade-II scramble (which I would say is a fair assessment of the difficulties).  I have climbed Liathach in Torridon (another Grade II) before and I would rate the Aonach Eagach ridge to be more difficult/interesting scrambling than Liathach.

Though things started out cloudy, by the time the group reached the scrambling section the weather was excellent.  I was even able to grab a picture of a Brocken Spectre...

I will add some more photos once I have a chance to get more from friends...my next post will detail my ill-fated hike the next day up the Ballachulish Horseshoe...
