Early Sunday morning - Buchaille Etive Mor hides its head.
Short Corran ferry crossing over loch Linnhe
Ardgour hills on western side.
Valley under Garbh Beinn at start of walk up. Incredibly beautiful.
Take off looking out over Loch Linnhe
Phil Colbert takes to the air. Barney checks his tackle!
Phil ..... the start was very scratchy until we found a climb out
Reaching a modest cloudbase of not much over 4300' at this stage. Loch Linnhe below.
Phil setting off over the back .... slow drift.
Nearing base ..... Mike above base .... somewhere!
On glide .... lost quite a lot each time but valley crossing to south faces not too long, about 5k.
Looking back towards the SW and not far over the back from take off.
Still looking back ... slow progress.
Mike dived off to large rock face in shade. Barely visible scratching around on it. Phil just visible above him.
Passing over the crag with Mike just visible before climbing out strongly.
The next ridge on provided a real screamer, then mellowed.
Which we do together for a few k's.
Heading towards Loch Shiel with a lot of shade and all searching for lift.
