Tarmachan Ridge, 13th April 2008

Bill and myself went up to Killin today and did the Tarmachan Ridge. Grade 1 all the way, and to avoid the walk either in or out, depending which direction you do it, we just went to the end and reversed it. Bill on the narrow (ish?) section of the ridge. Unless there were severely high winds, you would have to throw yourself off, or trip on a crampon! Looking back across to Ben Lawers. We took a rope and some gear in the hope of finding a suitable gully to use it in, but as we stayed mostly on the ridge we never needed to use it. However there were lots of banked out sections that could be used to kicking steps etc.

Possibly a little camera trickery here. Bill on the vertical section!!! Ahem. Making a comfy spot for lunch!
