where you wearing a harness?

This is not scrambling mate..find a rock climbing partner before you get into trouble.

Ive got the bug after striding edge too. Ive only done that, jacks rake lords rake but want to move to grade 2s its such a buzz. Pinnacle ridge at the lakes is my next.

so inspirational. see you outdoors!

Got to take your time and not rush routes, If in doubt rope up. Even on your own you could use an old climbing nut, big chunky one and ab off if you get Craig fast. Means carrying weight but its a fail safe option. I've been Craig fast and had to climb out of it . Climbers never want to ring that helicopter, I climbed the Ben at night to do tower ridge in the morning, went off the path and ended up in that gully at right hand side of the path. Made it to the lake using the moon as my touch compass. Never been as happy to see flat ground camped near the path and got woke up at 6 with walkers. Did the tower and the arret to the other hill across but that gully at night nearly got me.

sick dude ty for the video

Holy shit my palms are sweating watching this. My biggest fear is reaching that point of no return where you cant climb back down..

Nice! Just saw your latest vid, I’m excited to watch your journey. I’m jealous of the alps, they look beautiful and pointy.

I did dolmen last year. I am a tragically bad climber. I used ropes the whole day. My friend and i took 6 hours to climb it! We absolutely loved it though.

Class mate. Really enjoyed this! Would love to see a video about your climb gone wrong (getting back at 4.30AM).. Sounds tough!

A rarity on TH-cam. A video emphasizing skill in terms of safety and understanding personal limitations. Great to see a mature personality. YT features way too much content of risky behavior without offering anything about its real life consequences. No parent or loved one will be consoled by “died doing what they loved” or “ just before she fell to her death she was climbing magnificently”.

<3 Can fully relate! Including the same blue ice pick I got this year for the first time.

Your list of videos shows the journey well. I hope you'll find the possibility to take a sabatical from work to satisfy the needs.

Fantastic episode man, you edited this masterfully! Love it

I’m turning 16 soon and I’ve always had an interest in hiking, outdoors and climbing and this video is exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Great video, thanks. I'm on a similar journey to you, joined a climbing club and learning to lead climb at the moment. Hopefully I'll be where you are in a couple of years.

Yes mate 🤙

Very good video. I can recall two occasions from my early days of climbing I soloed something I hadn't done before and came within a hair's breadth catastrophe.

Probably the most enjoyable scrambles in the Peak District but I don’t think it’s part of kinder scout is it ?

Unfortunately, your video doesn’t really answer the question posed in the title, and doesn’t show good practice of the use of a rope for scrambling. I think you’ve still have a lot to learn about advanced scrambling.

Great film. Too much bravado on the scrambles, and this is a good message. Maybe even rope up a few mins earlier 😂

Agree with your comments and wisdom in this video. I’ve climbed up to grade 2 but never done a grade 3 solo. I am considering the next step up but will likely gain more Grade 2 experience prior. Having seen Dolmen ridge videos ie the crux you refer to here, it does look visibly beyond my capability at this stage. And zero margin for error. The idea of scrambling up something where a person ends up stuck (crag fast), simply isn’t an option for me. Good video mate and useful to those of us who enjoy hands on situations in the mountains 🤙🏻

at 8mins you mentioned very loose.. i climbed dolmen ridge in 2023. I was told by a mountain guide that summer a hugh lump of rock had come off! I was glad i have rope with a few nuts , a section the size of my torso had popped off.

I felt your realisation on this👍

مرحبا كارتر أتابعك من الأردن يبدو نشاطك رائع ومثير ولكن لدي سؤال هل هذه الصخور من الجرانيت ؟ أم من الرخام ؟

Fantastic ridge. Done it 2022. Memories for life. 👌

Fantastic video. Subscribed. The lady in that other group makes me nervous ffs.

Does the go pro distort depth perception? This looks terrifying.

I've seen too many people push themselves just that extra metre before realising they should have gone for a rope a metre ago. Great video and a superb example of good decision making.

Sensible advice

Dolmen Ridge is on my doorstep, and all being well, I'm hoping to try it on my own this summer. So glad to have seen this video; I'll be taking some gear and a rope. Safety first! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing your experience mate. Your advice is very valuable. Safe adventures.

Man, there were some moves you made that looked horrifying for me. Holy shit.😮

Great short vid showing the exposure of this route! It looks even more 'out there' than the guide says. I really must do this route before I'm too old. I'll get my HVS/E1 mate to lead the 4b pitches & I'll do the 4a.

Very interesting shoe. I have the version 1 of this shoe which is a bit more waterproof but suffers from not enough breathability in the forefoot in the summer. Great shoe for speed hiking in the Alps with a some scrambling and glaciers. I'd highlight the carbon rockplate which greatly helps with foot protection and edging compared to light running shoes like Salomon Sense. One unexpected favorite part of the shoe is the small cushioning around inner ankle - several times I've hit a rock there in these shoes and it is always painful when that happens in running shoes. You will still feel it but it is a bit less painful. For any races, FKTs etc. I'd pick running shoes but for casual hiking/running in the challenging terrain these provides much welcomed comfort.

Very informative dude. Thanks very much. Would love a crack at dolman ridge at some poing when im more confident.

Great video. Especially the parts when you talk about ego getting in the way and people end up doing something completely crazy out of their comfort zone. The rope enables you multiple repeat climbs if you were to slip and fall. Which you certainly wouldn't get without.

I can sort of see climbing up, but going down, wow.

must weigh your packs down a lot carrying those ropes and trad gear! Do you bring all the equipment with you everytime just incase?

Brilliant video 👌👍🤘

NIce ! Good job 🙂

Great video! Did this route in the summer. Really fun. Who was your guide please?

I was looking at taking my boys up this (we all climb) and using a rope, can it be done with a 30m rope and lowered back down for the next climber ? I do have a 60m but would rather not lug it all that way if not needed? Thanks for any advice.

Beautiful! Great video

looks like a blast more intense than the Katahdin Knife edge a bit like the top of Seneca Rocks.

Good decision, this was my first grade 3 unroped and that crux is serious. Better buzz unroped mind

I love them, I have the year prior and this years, I also have the two models of the X Alps. I used both of the first editions while I was in the Alps, I loved using both, I have not had issues with durability, but I grabbed the next model year of both because I want to have another pair of each when those ones finally die. I plan on doing the Tour Mont Blanc next year, these shoes are at the top of my list, for it. I use both for fast training hikes and climbs, when it comes to being high on the mountain for days, I do grab a more mountaineering specific boot, but for something that allows you to move quickly in all sorts of conditions, I love these shoes. I am sad that Salomon has decided not to continue making them, I just saw today that, both Merrell and Scarpa are both making a similar shoe and in a very similar color pallet. The Agility Peak 5 Zero and the Ribelle run kalibra g.

Thank you for this video

"A cracking day climbing in the Cairngorms......... Not much else to say!!" There's loads more to talk about ! 😉

Excellent message. Thanks for sharing.
