Buchaille Etive Beag

A mountain also known as the wee Buchaille. This is often ignored in favour of it's bigger brother but it still provides great views and a grand walk. The southern summit has a fairly narrow ridge (no scrambling) and so offers an excellent introduction to winter ridge walking. The views across to Bidean nan Bian is superb giving an excellent view of the Beinn Fhada ridge. The easiest approaches reach the bealach between the two summits from either the Lairig Eilde or the Lairig Gartain. lower than but equally nice and a good one to introduce to newcomers in winter ridge walking.
