My hands were sweating the whole time while Anna was free-soloing at the beginning of the video. Geez, doesn't she know that's dangerous! To leave your bike unlocked like that!
Fantastic video! So great to see a range of grades (alongside the elite ones) all on an equal footing as it were. Just a celebration of lovely climbing, beautiful movement, and nature.
Those slabs are amazing...even as a low grade climber,you end up doing little moves that you wouldn't even contemplate elsewhere. Used to climb,no matter the weather.Stiff boots work well there,even if they fill up with water,flowing from your fingers,down arms,under harness into boots.Awesome! Polldubh is a rock-climbing paradise,seriously!
Loved dossing under those boulders in the 80's. It was my personal playground sometimes. No fear for the Shunterneer. Ha ha. Ahhh, memories...Great video.
Good for Doctor Anna. A proper role model for young people. Here is someone who proves an individual can make a real contribution to the wider society and still get her fill of climbing. A high achiever and all rounder who is living proof of how to get the best of both worlds.
Heather's hat boulder @ 9:10ish bares great resemblance to the man made boulder that greets you when you walk into EICC Ratho. A really great Vlog of Fort William climbing👍
I love watching your videos, me and my friends were up in Glen Nevis for the first time last week, one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen in the flesh. Climbed northface route on Etiv Mor then bouldered in Glen Nevis on heather hat and a few surrounding ones. Some amazing looking trad around there i cannot wait to come back up. :) Awesome as always :)
Thank you for sharing your kwoledge and experiences with all of us, wich don't. It's a priviledge to have the choice of seeing this features and learning with your videos. Thanks again.
What climb is worth the destruction of natural forestry? My mind is blank. Scotland has 12% of the European average of forest. It needs more people to care for it and help it grow.
It's not natural forest. Thats the point. Did you look at the Nevis Landscape Partnerships channel and site in the video description? They are clearing the unnatural birch as part of a much larger project to restore the natural caledonian pine forest with tens of thousands of trees planted already. Here is another film I made on this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-73amOtfLap8.html
The first time l went to Cloggy, l was advised to wear a helmet which was something l never usually did (or do). Turned out to be good advice as careless climbers( you know who you are) frequently dislodged rocks from descent paths onto climbers below. Several unfortunates have paid with their lives for others’ carelessness. A helmet whilst soloing SkyPilot though!? In case of a slip, l suppose it makes one’s corpse easier to ID.
uhh yer gear placements are shit.... if you blow cams dont climb till you know how to place gear safely... if that blew out and you hit a ledge it would be different 10 ft shockfalls can be a big deal cheers... be safe...
@@babsds0 rock climbing with a crash pad. I done proper face climbs in wales much harder. 1000ft face climb. Tryfan face, if you fall a crash pad will not help.
