The south side of the glen is marked by a succession of distinct peaks: Buachaille Etive Mor is followed to the west by Buachaille Etive Beag, then by the ''Three Sisters'', shoulders of the Bidean nam Bian massif which itself marks the western end of the glen.
In the valley to the east of Buachaille Etive Beag, the River Coupall runs north to the head of the glen, but it swings east round the Buachaille Etive Mor to join the River Etive running south.
Rock climbers concentrate on the Buachaille Etive Mor (1018 m), often called simply ''"The Beuckle"'', and on the various routes on the Three Sisters (shoulders of Bidean nam Bian).

BUACHAILLE Etive Beag is the name of the mountain that covers a three-mile stretch from Glen Coe to Glen Etive.
It is not particularly massive and, indeed, is dwarfed by its neighbours, Bidean nam Bian and Buachaille Etive Mor.
From the col halfway along Buachaille Etive Beag the ascent to Stob Coire Raineach is only some 175m.

 Scotsman.com News - The climb is equal to the superb view   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Buachaille Etive Mor and its neighbour, Buachaille Etive Beag, are the big and little herdsmen of Etive - mor means big (more if you like), but beag means little, despite suggesting big to a non-Gaelic speaker.
The Buachaille’s distinctive outline is, in fact, the rocky buttress of Stob Dearg, with its myriad rock-climbing routes, whereas Buachaille refers to the whole mountain that stretches to Stob na Broige, three miles distant.
The mountain is bounded by Glen Etive in the east and Lairig Gartain to the west, but it is the northerly approach from the A82 and Lagangarbh, into Coire Tulaich, that is described.

The name "Bauchaille" means shepherd or guardian, and indeed Buachaille Etive Mor (the bigger of the two ridges) guards the entrance to Glencoe to dramatic effect.
The standard route up Buachaille Etive Mor involves a steep path to a high corrie around the right side of the main face.
Buachaille Etiv Beag (above) is much the same shape as its bigger cousin.

Once its correct height of 993m is recognised, Spidean Coire nan Clach becomes the second highest peak on the Beinn Eighe range, situated strategically near its centre, and requiring a reascent of 172m in the traverse to it from the highest point Ruadh-stac Mor.
Similarly, Stob Coire Raineach on Buachaille Etive Beag requires a reascent of 175m from the col separating it from Stob Dubh, and Tom na Gruagaich on Beinn Alligin has a reascent of 156m from the col between it and the highest point of the mountain.
This is the steep and rocky peak at the south-west end of the Buachaille Etive Mor ridge which looks particularly impressive from points further down Glen Etive.

It is a great day and even when we pass the traditional endpoint of the ridge and continue our long walk over the less trodden hills of Sron Gharbh and Sron a Choire Odhair-bhig to pick up the path of the West Highland Way into Kinlochleven, spirits are still high.
The dark days of Glen Etive are all but forgotten and we think ahead to Glen Nevis and the end of our Journey.

Buachaille Etive Beag is Buachaille Etive Mor's little brother but don't let that fool you into thinking this mountain is a walk over.
Although the features of Buachaille Etive Beag is similar to that of Buachaille Etive Mor the main summit Stob Dubh sits at the end of the ridge whereas Stob Dearg frowns down over the A82 for the big brother.
I had read a few reviews about Buachaille Etive Beag before I left and read that the Lairig Gartain was a bit of a mud bath so I decided to tackle the ridge from Lairig Eilde.

Brother of the Buachaille Etive Mor, and the two mountains have many similarities, especially when seen from the lower reaches of Glen Etive, from where Stob Dubh and Stob na Broige are like twins.
The highest summit of the Buachaille Etive Beag, Stob Dubh, is at the south-west end of the mountain's ridge and the second summit, Stob Coire Raineach, is near the north-east end.
The ascent of the two peaks may easily be made from the A82 road about > kilometre south-west of Altnafeadh at the start of the right of way through the Lairig Gartain to Glen Etive.

Buachaille Etive Beag is often neglected as the little brother of the big Buachaille but is in reality a worthwhile walk with extensive views into Glencoe and to Sgreamhach and Bidean nam Bian with its extensive complex of ridges and corries.
On the map to the right is is seen to the east of Buachaille Etive Mor and is a shorter walk - ideal when the days are shorter.
Stob nan Cabar at the northeast end of the ridge is really a shoulder of Stob Coire Raineach but if time permits it is worth a visit for the view down into Glencoe.
