(Click to enlarge)

Beinn a Bhuird seen from the summit of Ben Avon. The Sneck (the col between the two hills) is rendered invisible by the terrain, so the two plateaux seem to merge, with the massive bite of Slochd Mor giving scale to the scene. May 2005.

Notes

A long route on moderately steep slopes leading to a high level plateau walk. There are deep corries to the west of the summit plateau, therefore, careful navigation required particularly in poor visibility.
