Coire na Tulaich avalanches engulfing approach path – WORTH A LOOK!!!
3rd February 2014
The following photos show two avalanche events crossing and engulfing the main approach/descent path for Buachaille Etive Mor. These graphically emphasise the importance of careful route planning for both ascent and descent after climbing when the guard may be lowered.

| Event 2 – Looking down on avalanche debris from Western ridge of Coire na Tulaich – debris crosses the approach path. |
