Buachaille Etive Beag - No 99, 100

A late start, again, then tanked up the 'Alt Alrige Eilde' to the well laid flagstone path twisting up to the snowline, approx. 450m, exactly as per the www.mwis.org.uk forecast.
An icy path then deep snow with a firm padded top layer snaked up to the Bealach. Windy steps later and a quick chat to folk descending and on up to the first summit, 'Stob Coire Raineach'.


A very windy break just of the summit and my 99th Munro done. Crampons on for the descent and the rest of the ridge. Much safer on the hard packed snow, normally it would be bucket steps but it's consolidated since last weekends big dump.

Back down then up along the Buachaille Etive Beag ridge to the top then the last summit of the day and my 100th ! Quite tricky at points but a geat ridge walk with fantastic views down to the glistening Etive river and Loch.
