Curved Ridge, Buachaille Etive Mòr - Scramble up and fly down.
Buachaille Etive Mòr means 'the Great Herdsman of Etive', and the mountain stands like a guardian at the head of Glen Coe. My favourite route is Curved Ridge, a wonderful mountaineering line in both summer and winter.
In this episode of my Mountain Days Vlog I climb Curved Ridge at sunrise, getting to the summit in smooth air so that I can fly down on my lightweight paraglider.

      It weighs about 300g more and the pack size is very similar. For me it is well worth that little bit of extra weight for the extra performance that it gives me - mainly in terms of wind penetration.
