Where is it?
Why do you go there? I did all the mountains and ridges round there when I was younger: The Three Sisters, Buachaille Etive Mor and the Aonach Eagach Ridge a few times. I am a scrambler and a hillwalker, not a ropes climber – I have never quite had the courage for that.
How often do you go? Every two or three years. If I am in Scotland, I try to go. Even for just a day trip.
How did you discover it? Through school trips, travelling up from Edinburgh. My school had what was called third-year projects where you would help in the community and then on your downtime go hiking, camping and climbing.
