LIATHACH, Is this Scotlands most exciting traverse? My Munro  

Thanks very much Kevin! A great wee day out! Paul

One of the best views on this journey so far! Spectacular!!! 😃😃😃

Thanks so much!!!! Paul

Fantastic Roy! What a day!!! Paul

Cheers John!! You Cannae wak it! How you been doing? Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 I'm doing OK. Family life is conspiring to limit my (and Cathie's) free time though. I have done Dumyat twice in the last couple of weeks because I can get there, get up and down, and home again in 3 hrs. It's not much, but, at my age (I've just had another birthday🙄) it's keeping my hand in. I worry that I'll just kind of give up😟.

Thanks Chris!! A fantastic day and what a walk!! One of my favourite days so far! Thanks again and thanks for the support 👍👍Paul

Thanks very much! One of the best mountains in Scotland 👍👍👍Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 👍

Absolutely epic! Overall two amazing days with the guys! Fantastic 😁😁😁

Thanks so much!! One of my favourites so far! Thanks! Paul

Cheers Andy! Up your gaff this week!! 👍👍

@@PAADVENTURES1 Excellent, should be fun. Great prep doing An Teallach and Liathach.

Im so glad that I managed too get some footage! probably the best day this year so far! Yeah old BL! class song...Cheers Paul.

Thanks very much!! An amazing place! Paul

Cheers Alan! It’s certainly an adrenaline filled day!! I was a bit beat after this! My face at the end was a bit flushed!! A brilliant day though 👍👍cheers again. Paul

Cheers Chas!! A fantastic day out with the guys!! You been up North recently? Paul

Yes I managed to finish off the Fannichs, and Am Faochagach, the one with that river crossing, which thankfully was doable but I did use a spare pair of shoes. Then made a start on the Glen Sheil group. I am a fair way behind you but they are slowly getting done. Have you any idea yet roughly when you might compleat?

@@charlesrobert9527 sitting at 207 the now so maybe with a fair wind next year? Anything can happen though so no pressure 🥴

Yes it’s hard to judge. You are getting along well though so in with a chance in the next 12 months. Agree though no need to feel pressurised.

Cmon Ian that’s a classic tune to go with a classic mountain 😎😎. Your right though an unforgettable experience on not such a blistering hot day! Thanks for watching mate and thanks for the comments 👍

Thanks so much Andrew! Probably one of my favourite walks so far in this journey! Glad we didn't use the bypass path! That does look scary 😯cheers mate. Paul

Thanks John! My favourite band…Beluga Lagoon 👍. Paul

Thank you so much for the sub! The support’s appreciated 👍. This was one of my favourite days out so far this year and it was absolutely majestic! The wee bit of wind and snow made it all the more atmospheric!! Thanks again and hope you enjoy the other adventures! Paulo

Cheers Rob! Absolutely stunning mountain and potentially my favourite Munro so far!, it's a toughie. Have you visited Liathach yet? Paul

@PA ADVENTURES no not yet Paul. Heading up that way in few weeks but I'm tempted to leave it until later in my round 👍😬

It’s a cracker Rob!! You will love it! The bypass path looks scary 😮

It’s definitely a fantastic area is torridon, the mountains are like the tiers of some rock birthday cake! Pretty spectacular. This is a cracking mountain and one if you get the chance you should definitely visit! Not to be taken lightly though and the pinnacle route would we best with a guide! Thanks for watching and hopefully you build up your experience and get to visit! Cheers. Paul 👍👍

It’s a cracker though eh! It was good with Ollie the guide, the ropes just made you feel a wee bit more comfortable I think! One of the best days of 2023 for me! Did she really divorce you? 🥴🥴😵‍💫

You will love it Neil! A great day out and a fantastic mountain!! May can be a glorious month too so fingers crossed for a blue sky day! Paul

I actually did it about 50 years ago in winter conditions, when I used to live down the road in Applecross; this time it’ll be with my wife who’s had her eye on it for a while & especially after we walked Zein Eighe a few years ago. Fingers crossed for a good weather window. At least it should be pre-midgies

40 years ago, not 50

👍👍

I thought the walk back was further than it turned out to be! Robert was a good sport though running me back!, 194 after last weekend's trip back up to Torridon!,, getting there. I think that grey corries walk has to be one of my favourite walks so far! Amazing views and a feeling of remoteness and space! Hope you get the weather as its looking good for Saturday! Watch that initial ascent 😁😁😁

@@PAADVENTURES1 ah you went to Alligin next.. The horns are fun , and amazing views.. Only just done these hill about three weeks ago.

No we went to some slightly lesser known mountains up there! Video in a few weeks 👍😂😂👍👍

Beinn Liath Mhòr and Sgòrr Ruadh .. A nice hike

👍 and the views over Liathach were amazing!!

Thank you so much!! I think I always start off with a pinch of trepidation which turns to excitement and fun and ultimately elation! Absolutely spot on! This is an amazing mountain and the overall day is up there in my top 5 experiences so far 👍👍👍👍👍thanks very much and thanks for the support 😃😃Paul

Thanks very much Dave!! What a cracker of a mountain! Definitely up there in my top 5 so far! The wee bit of weather we had definitely added to the atmosphere!! Cheers again. Paul

Cheers Kev! It’s a belter!! Well worth keeping it for the good weather. I actually enjoyed the snow and wind! Made it very atmospheric 👍👍👍👍

Thanks very much again Duncan! Frank certainly keeps your feet on the ground and a brilliant walking partner!!. A brilliant second day on our wee mini torridon tour! Can’t recommend this mountain enough! Potentially it’s the highlight of the first 194 Munros I’ve done 👍👍👍👍thanks again mate! Paul

Cheers Brian! Hammer and bone felt like an appropriate tune! Glad you noticed it! Yeah I tried to capture as much as possible but you get all in the zone and forget to record it! But I managed to capture some of it at least. Did you see the face! I thought it was just me! 😁

I meant editing suite😂

Cheers Neil! A wee toughie trying to capture this but hopefully it gives a feel for our weekend adventure! Thanks again mate! Paul

Thanks Ally! Whilst the weather was a bit off it was just enough to add atmosphere without really hampering the day! The scrambling is brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Have you done this mountain yet? Cheers again....Paul

@PAADVENTURES1 Still to do it Paul was up north the other day got some cracking views ,going to be up that way the last week of May doing a few overnights so might see if I can squeeze it In its been one I have been wanting to do

It’s a cracker Ally! Need to catch up on your new video 👍

Thank you very much Ed!!! That means a lot! It was actually quite amazing! The wee flutters of snow and the brooding sky were just amazing! I guess a mixture of scary and exhilarating in equal measure! Thanks again and thanks for watching!! Paul

Your spot on Derek! I’m more risk averse now than when I was twenty! Running around without a care in the world! A fantastic day out with the guys and probably one of my favorite hills so far! It’s up there on the top 5!! Fantastic! Cheers again! Paul

Thank you so much Kenny! Probably up there in my top 3 hill days so far!! A fantastic experience and one which I won’t forget soon! Hopefully I will get the chance to revisit it my my son in the coming years!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments! Paul

Thanks so much Andy!! What a cracking review!!!🤩🤩🤩! That makes all the effort so worthwhile! An amazing day, tiring, adrenaline fueled, exciting, fun! Everything you could ask for with your mates!! One word..,fantastic 😂😂😂cheers again and thank you so much! It’s very much appreciated! Paul

It's a close one Zac! I'm not sure I could call it! Both were great days out for me but this one maybe tops it! 🙄 cheers Paul

Cheers Seth!! An amazing day and when you come back over this should be on your hit list!! Need to catch up on your videos! Been a hectic few weeks 👍👍👍Paulo

Thanks Lesley! Yeah this one was a wee bit more up there than other walks! It was great having a guide though and it made the day much more enjoyable! The mighty liathach 😁😁😁

Fantastic Alan! Was it the big buchaille? A fantastic mountain and one to be savoured one good day. I'm not surprised your legs are still sore it's a big day out! Fitness is key for the bigger days, it let's you enjoy it without worrying about jelly legs and feeling tired!, glad you enjoyed watching! Cheers and thanks again....Paul

@PA ADVENTURES yea it was the big buchaille. I've got a video up on it too.

Will catch up this weekend on your video!! 👍👍👍look forward to it!!

Cheers Robert! A pity you missed it but it will be there for another day! Yeah añ amazing mountain and the scramble was airy and exciting!, what else could you ask for? Thanks mate! Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 Nice one Paul 😁👍

All hail! What a cracker of a day eh!, I was getting worried after seeing the forecast that day but I think the wee wind and snow flurries added to a spectacular day! Where would you rather be!,, Thanks again for the company and craic!, Looking forward to seeing your video! Paulo

Thank you!! Paul

What a mountain eh! One of my favourite days in the hills so far ever 😎😎

First of all thanks! 😊. I really enjoyed this one. Potentially the single best walk I have done so far! It is a bit airy and like the cuillin and the AE it’s best to have a head for heights, well at least a wee bit 🥴. If you do manage though you will never forget these days! Face your fears if you can and go for it! You won’t regret it! But take care too!! Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 thanks Paul. I think I would get a guide for the fore mentioned, would be cheaper going in a wee group. You look to have a great group of experienced climbers, all Hamish MacInnes or Cameron MacNeish types 👍

Yeah get a guide! I can recommend a few when you decide to go for it! We all have got together through RU-vid! A great wee resource and a great meeting spot for like minded folks! 👍👍👍

The two Munros on the Aonach Eagach are at each end of the ridge so you don't need to do that hard bit.

@@Philliben1991 aye, that’s my plan, just means extra hiking 😁👍

Thanks very much Dave!, it is a wee bit foreboding up there especially with the added wind and wee snow flurries! The camera probably dosent do the ridge justice! Its airy, rough and you expect to see a pterodactyl at any minute! Old rocks, old mountains, old memories 🙄. A fantastic wee day out and great company with the limpets 😁😁😁cheers again mate. Paul

A few pterodactyl sound effects would have done it! Cmon the limpets...👊

Thanks very much Tam! You will love this mountain when you get to it! It's tough but great fun 😁😁cheers again....Paul

Thanks Andrew! An absolutely brilliant day!! A wee bit of weather making it quite atmospheric. I would say in terms of distance it’s around the same, steep up and down. I think the scrambling was ever so slightly more difficult and I was glad of the rope on some parts. A great memory as you say!! Fantastic. Paul

Thanks mate!!! Looking forward to your new adventures! Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 definitely m8 big hike planned for next Yr abroad if your interested

@@Scotlands-adventurer abroad? Whereabouts?

@@PAADVENTURES1 Poland mount rysy

@@Scotlands-adventurer wow!!!

Absolutely!

Thanks so much! It's one of my favourite places here in Scotland and the Torridon region has the most amazing mountains. Hopefully you will get a chance to revisit us! The music is by a Scottish band called Beluga Lagoon and the song is hammer and bone! It's a belter! Cheers again....Paul

Yeah there is a bypass path Shahid but it looks scary! More scary than the ridge!! 😂

​@@PAADVENTURES1 I did take that bypass path many years ago - would NOT recommend! It's extremely narrow in places with a sheer drop onto rock. Much better to do the pinnacles!

Thanks for that! I have seen a few videos and it looks extremely exposed! Someone said to me recently that to stick to the ridge is by far the best option too! Cheers again. Info for you Shahid! 👍👍👍

I think from memory the path looks even scarier 🥴. Some advice I was given a long time ago was stuck as much as possible to the ridge as you can! It’s more dangerous down the sides 🥴🥴. Yeah the guide is Ollie from Climb Torridon! Absolutely brilliant! We are going back out with him in a weeks time! Highly recommended! Thanks Paul 👍

Thank you so much!, a fantastic mountain and a fantastic experience. We had a slightly windy and atmospheric day which always heightens the senses. I would say that on a scale of 1 through 10 I found it to be around a 5 in terms of exposure. We used the rope for some of the down climbs however I found the rest ok. If you have a reasonable head for heights you will find this ok. All things are relative though. I think with having a guide and ropes he will be fine. Hope this helps? Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 Thank you so much Paul for your reply. This will help so much for our attempt. I so enjoy watching your adventures unfold and with Frank. Thank you guys 🙏

No bother Keith!! Hope you have an amazing time!!

@@PAADVENTURES1 one last question. What's that tune at the start of the climb?

It’s a belter! It’s called hammer and bone by a band called beluga lagoon 👍👍👍

Cheers! The song is hammer and bone by beluga lagoon! Ta Paul

Thank you! Yeah there are paths on these hills! Especially precarious on this mountain! We took the ridge which avoided most of the paths on this walk! Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 Hey mate thanks for the reply, all the best to you, and happy and safe mountaineering 👍

Thanks a lot! Yeah a wee joke for a friend! Yeah we did this in April this year! Still a bit unsettled but not too bad! Paul

@@PAADVENTURES1 cheers Paul, we’re going up in May, can’t wait.

Fantastic! It’s a great walk! Fingers crossed you get a nice day!! 👍👍👍

Cheers mate 👍👍👍
