Good fun on D Gully Buttress, Buchaille Etive Mor

After discussing a few options, Nick, Chris and I decided to go for D Gully Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mor today, which turned out to be great fun!

For some reason, it's not a route I had climbed before, so it was a real adventure for us all. For a route that is easily accessed and fairly low on the mountain, it certainly doesn't lack any character, with plenty of interesting climbing and great situations. The ground is quite slabby in places, so requires a bit of care, but there were axe placements where needed.

From the top of D Gully Buttress, we made our way over and down Curved Ridge (and Easy Gully), on which there were a number of teams making their way up.
