Etive Munros
This circuit first reported to us in the form given here by Digby Harris after he ran it on 1st/2nd September 2017 looks like a nice 24-hour challenge of lower mileage but tougher terrain than the established Ramsay and Rigby Rounds. Starting and finishing at the Coleitir road end in Glen Etive, it takes in 16 Munros including the south side of Glen Coe and complete Black Mount, and shares much ground with John Fleetwood's longer, more inclusive, 30-hour round of June 2005. Digby's own detailed account is available here at SHR as an MS Word document, but can be briefly summarised as 45.5 miles with 24,900ft of ascent completed in 23 hours 20 minutes and visiting the following peaks:

Beinn Fhionnlaidh
Sgor na h-Ulaidh
Bidean nam Bian
Stob Coire Sgreamhach
Stob Dubh
Stob Coire Raineach
Stob na Broige
Stob Dearg
Creise
Meall a' Bhuiridh
Stob Ghabhar
Meall nan Eun
Stob Coir' an Albannaich
Glas Bheinn Mhor
Beinn nan Aighenan
Ben Starav

Those considering running it or simply interested are recommended to read Digby's entertaining full account.

On 7th/8th July 2019, Jon Gay and Majka Kunicka ran this Etive Round in 22 hours, 15 minutes [ref. Scottish Running Guide].
