Goat
Fell and Brodick Bay from the Caledonian Princess.
Mountain
bikes are very useful to get well up Glen Rosa and back again, especially if you
are on a day trip with a return ferry to catch.

ridge. The gap can be seen in profile below.

A
party returning from the mauvais pas because they did not have a rope. Everyone
in a party needs to be very confident of their ability if no rope is carried.
They are approaching the step across the gap which can be seen at the bottom of
the photograph.

the A'Chir Ridge, from the step
across the gap. Looking south to the groove on the west side of the ridge, which
leads to the A'Chir summit.
Ascending the Mauvais Pas on a N/S traverse of the A'Chir Ridge. The route
lies on the east side of the ridge about one third of the way between the gap
and the end of this part of the ridge. This was 4
hours after rain, the short polished chimney below and left of this
picture was nearly impossible (VD in the dry). In a South/North traverse, a
gravity assisted controlled slide is much easier.
