Today I took Jim and Kieran to Buachaille Etive Mor. They have been trying progressively harder scrambling routes and have reached a point where they want to pick up some ropework skills to ensure their ability to protect themselves both in ascent and retreat on steeper ground. It was drizzly all day, although it never rained that hard, as we made our way both up and down Curved Ridge in poor visibility. Today I was working for Scotch on the Rocks Guides .

Here is a video of yesterday's biking too:
