Glen Coe is all close-packed contours and well-scuffed ridges, but next-door Glen Etive has a wider, wilder feel, with the promise of big days on big hills that see far less footfall. Rising in a complex tangle above the forestry (and hydro scheme mess) of the lower glen, the Munro and Corbett pair of Sgor na h-Ulaidh and Beinn Maol Chaluim are typical Etive, full of rugged charisma and yet relatively unfrequented. Tackled together they make a logical circuit, with some tough ground and a hint of scrambling.
