Glencoe is a playground for hiking, climbing and everything outdoors. It's also home to Scotland's most photographed mountain - Buachaille Etive Mòr or just 'The Buachaille' as it's more affectionately known.
Today, we will walk and scramble our way up to its summit at Stob Dearg, and show you what the view is like from the top, with Rannoch Moor stretching out as far as the eye can see below.
Stob Dearg is classified as a Munro - Scottish mountains with a height of over 3000ft. It's a serious hike to get to the top and in our opinion shouldn't be attempted without some experience and a good pair of boots. We certainly learned some lessons today on how the weather can change a mountain from a fairly benign experience to a mighty dangerous place!
I hope this video gives you a good impression of how it is to hike to the top of such an iconic mountain, and then get back down again!

That was just amazing! The two of you are such an inspiration. So good to watch from the warmth and comfort of my living room. Not to forget that after all the effort and danger of the climb, you come home and prepare the video for us so we can share your experience. Thanks so much Steve, absolutely loved every minute. Please keep doing it!

That brings back memories of when my legs were younger. I remember kicking steps all the way up that Corrie when it was full of snow. I remember, just before we got to the top four mad Scotsmen jumped of the top and slid all the way to the bottom. Happy days. Mike in Sheffield

Hello Steve. You both have my full respect. I know from my own experience how strenuous an ascent on wet rock and scree is. And you still film your tour and explain everything. The descent was a bit dangerous, but you mastered it very well. You have to think about every step. The view was breathtaking and absolutely worth the effort. The video was brilliant, I held my breath until you passed the slippery spots. Thank you so much. 💪👍 P.S. You can't look really grumpy, your mischievous gleam always peaks out of your eyes 😉

Holy crap Steve and Alijca I am just glad you escaped that with no broken bones. I have been so impressed with your teamwork, persistence, spontaneity and general good nature through about 50 videos so far. I started with the trip to Cumbrae Island because it was just nostalgic. I was there this past April. I did my first solo international trip with three weeks in Scotland and Ireland. Like you it was mostly walk, bus, train, ferry and a hop back to Dublin from Glasgow via Aer Lingus. I live in Oregon so the weather was actually better than here for most of my trip. I stayed in a lovely Airbnb 1880's cottage that was built for the navies building the railroad in Largs. One of only three left standing. Then I day tripped out of Largs using ScotRail - which by the way is miles better than any Amtrak I travel here - they would win the dirty windows contest for sure. Thank you for all the adventures so far.

The 2nd time, I carried a bottle of champagne to the summit for someone's topping out party, I stayed for ten mins, then down and climbed the Corbett behind the Kings house, I re joined the party at the Kings House. 3rd time a few of us walked the ridge and back.

@@steve-marsh Sadly the last time I did anything was a walk in the Pentlands, that was a year past November, the month before I walked with a friend of mine, we were in Glen Sheil where we did the accent of The Saddle. We did not attempt the Forcan Ridge due to me not being as fit, but the upper section of the path was not comfortable under foot. ancastiel@gmail.com

Awesome Stuff Steve and might stick that on the ''to do list'' - Always wanted to do Goatfell & Scafell pike, did set out one day to climb Scafell pike but my pal had his dog with him and we hadn't done our research so we ended up climbing Catbells instead. You really are spoiling us with these uploads and a massive thanks again.

Fantastic video, only started following you today. Did that mountain 3 years back and found the ridge the toughest part. We noticed on the way back down that a path had been cut into the skree, if only we knew before hiking up the corrie. Thanks again for such a great video. Looking forward to watching your other videos and future content. Happy to Subscribed.

Really well done guys, doesn't take much to hurt yourself on the Scottish hills, A good way down is to continue along the ridge and over the second peak, then come down on your right hand side, 20 years ago I last climbed that ,😁😁

O.M.G. Steve that was the scariest thing! first off that breathtaking view from your campa-van, then rain, ten min. later fine, imagine living in that cottage with that backdrop, only an hardened ‘Scot’ like Jamie Fraser could do that! what an accent and decent, no need for me to say more, my mate G.G. has covered about everything, I am going to award you both with a C.D.M. badge for courage & bravery, plus no mountain ⛰ gear, I would have been dressed for Everest! I am in awe of your two’s determination to climb 🧗 that mountain with ‘Spectacular’ views ‘BRAVO’ p.s. don’t do it again, my heart ♥️ won’t take it! 👌🤗👋

@steve-marsh 3 года назад
Thanks so much for the badge Bernice :) Looking back, it was such an awesome day and what a workout too! It was funny coming back to the van, thinking last time we were there we had no IDEA how tough it would turn out to be. And hoping our camera captured that fantastic scenery. You might not be seeing another one of these on the cannel until we've forgotten how challenging it was :)

Can’t trust the Scottish Weather Steve, you of all people know that! you both did amazingly well despite the conditions, truly my heart was in my mouth coming back down the pathways if you can call them that had turned to raging rivers! I think I would have had to call out Mountain Rescue! like me you have a guardian Angel 👼 on full alert obviously! make you next one a bit tamer and less wild and windy please!🤗
