A friend sent me this photo which is dated 1989 but we are not sure where it was taken. My best guess is on the Blackmount above Bridge of Orchy so the lake is Loch Tulla. Any other suggestions ?

No, your right. Probably on Stob Ghabhar.

If its the day I'm thinking of, we climbed Stob Ghabhar from Victoria Bridge. The date isn't correct but the site wouldn't let me give just a year

From my era so I’d be interested to know who the folk are in the image apart from being named two Dave’s & a Doug? Cheers

The Doug is me, we were all based in Aberdeen at the time, myself as a postgrad student, the others worked in oil related jobs. We were often at Colin & Karen's place in Braemar around then - I climbed & skied with both of them when they were both students.

Definitely Stob Ghabhar looking over Loch Tulla to Beinn a Chreachain, Beinn Achalladair and Beinn an Dothaidh. All that's missing is the GUMC Clashgour hut where I spent many happy weekends in my youth! A very nice late 80's photo, Doug
