点评:After our initial cancellation on the 28th, because our guide had fallen ill and what seemed like a disappointing start to our winter holiday, we re-scheduled things for the 1st which was the next possible ‘good weather’ day. Scott came over to the Yha where we were staying at at 7:30am and we headed out from there to Buachaille Etive Mor. My son was craving some adventure and Scott promised us we’d have a lot of it. With head torches on we started our ascent via the Great Gully Buttress. It was his first time being roped and climbing with crampons and some sections of the climb were surely thrilling enough for him and me too and we summited Stob Dearg. It was a clear day and the views were stunning. All the while we felt very safe, confident and assured with Scott’s leading and how he managed the ropes, his instructions and anchor set-ups. It was the perfect start to 2025. We’re now hoping we can do another scramble with Elite Guides in summer.
翻译:28 日,由于我们的导游生病了,而且这似乎是我们冬季假期令人失望的开始,我们最初取消了行程,之后我们将行程改到了 1 日,因为那天是下一个“好天气”的日子。斯科特早上 7:30 来到我们下榻的青年旅舍,我们从那里出发前往 Buachaille Etive Mor。我的儿子渴望冒险,斯科特向我们保证,我们会有很多冒险经历。我们戴上头灯,开始沿着 Great Gully Buttress 攀登。这是他第一次被绳索束缚,用冰爪攀登,攀登的某些部分对他和我来说肯定足够刺激,我们登上了 Stob Dearg 峰。那天天气晴朗,景色令人惊叹。在斯科特的带领下,以及他如何管理绳索、他的指示和锚点设置,我们一直感到非常安全、自信和放心。这是 2025 年的完美开端。我们现在希望能够在夏天与 Elite Guides 一起进行另一次攀登。
