Awesome
This brings back some terrifying memories from a long time ago , andI did it with 3 other very experienced climbers, the very thought of doing it solo in winter gives me the shakes even now 40 years later😱
Impressive . . . High degree of Exposure . . . .10/10 Video!
Extraordinary!
I did Aonach Eagach once on mid-summers day (June21st) 2013(?). It snowed, and was for a while lying. I was a bit out of my comfort zone. No danger of meeting me in those conditions, much as I would love to experience them. Kudos!
Respect👍
Well done, sir!
👏👏👏👍
Must be how those icemen wound up stuck in those glasiers.
So cool, may I ask what gloves you wear?
Rab fulcrum GTX glove 👍
Did you attach the gopro to your rucksack with an invisible stick?
Go pro max is on the selfie stick in my bag, the camera clips out the section where the stick is in the frame.
Excellent video. Quick Q. What made you choose one axe instead of two ? Cheers.
its more of a mountain traversal kinda route, with short relatively easy, if exposed bits of scrambling/climbing/ downclimbing so the walking axe kept it more fun. I did have a second climbing axe on my rucksack just in case, but i never ended up using it.
Did you downclimb the first bit after ambodach or abseil?
Ye I down climbed it, little bit of winding to get the easiest line but was ok. There was some abseil tat on a pinnacle on the right at the top of it.
Can the ridge be done without ropes? @@Jonathan.L.C.Wilson
@@Akash-ox6fl I did the ridge without using a rope, although if you don’t like down climbing the first bit off am bodach has some tat to ab off.
