  • ➤ In today's video I will be doing a Scottish Classic Route, Climbing Four Munros in Glen Nevis. Including the beautiful Steall Falls and Wire rope bridge. These are a Munro Baggers Delight in the Mamore Range! Also included in this route is the DEVILS ridge, which is not as scary as it sounds!
    This route is around 10 Miles long and will take around 8-9 Hours.
    Enjoy!
    THE ROUTE: www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fortw...
    TimeStamps and Munros:
    Intro 0:00
    Wire Rope Bridge 0:49
    Steall Falls 2:25
    An Gearanach 3:45
    Stob Coire a' Chàirn 6:00
    Am Bodach 7:56
    The Devils Ridge 9:05
    Sgùrr a'Mhaim 10:29
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Scotland has 282 Munro's - Which are peaks over 3000ft in height, I am aiming to climb them ALL!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ➤SUBSCRIBE to the channel to keep up to date with the latest Munro's! I will document every single one which will help you get a feel for what they are really like - these are not intended as a guide, always take the precautions before hitting the hills!
    Also my difficulty rating/overall ratings are the difficulty of the walk, discounting weather conditions! The hills can be dangerous so always be prepared!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DONATE! ➤I am climbing the 282 for myself but also to raise some money for charity - Scottish Mountain Rescue - An amazing charity who are all volunteers, details will be put on the video how to donate soon!

    Devils ridge always gives me the fear when I watch videos on it,,puts me off doing the ring of steal.nice videos by the way.good honest content.
