Love your videos Murray absolutely fantastic.
Climbed it many years ago. One of my favourite mountains. Great video
Brilliant - thank you
Spectacular!! I was in the Torridon Hills in the second week of May this year myself. Hired a guide to climb Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin. Went up Beinn Eighe the first day, but we had to turn back due to an extremely strong wind that literally blew me off my feet now and then. Walked past the loch up to where the gully starts and saw some of the wreckage of the plane that once crashed there. The second day we reached Tom na Gruagaich (we started from the other side and came from a different direction) and than turned back again for the same reason, but I've regretted that ever since. I wanted to stretch myself, but actually didn't. Thanks for sharing!
very nice journey Wilkie - it was real pleasure to watch. cheers
Thanks Wojtk and Thanks for watching

Really nice to see this route in the full. I have made three attempts on this so far. The first two ended up with a retreat over the first horn due to deteriorating weather and the last one in Feb 2018 was a retreat at one of the chock-stones. Sloppy granular snow and not enough to go over, but too much to go under. It came together later in the week though with similar sunlit views from Liathach after a date with George and his Sinister Prong. Maybe this year and attempt number 4, as I will be back in a couple of weeks.
I checked your channel out because I follow Thomas Heaton. Really good stuff. I have enjoyed the 2 I have watched very much.
Hi Russell and welcome :)
Appreciate you checking the channel out - hope you enjoy some of my adventures :)

absolutely fantastic trip!!!
really enjoyed that. for one guy with a camera the production quality is great too
That was incredible 👍
Wow, superb views and climb
Epic :-) After you found the chalk stone it looked like you were on a vertical wall of snow! Glad it was stable :-) Your fingers must have been freezing shooting those drone shots :-) Thanks for sharing 🏴
yes indeed - along with the batteries failing due to the cold - my fingers were next!!

Cracking video mate. The old Gopro makes it look scary than it actually is. My favourite hill in Scotland. You have captured it well, cheers.
the fish eye effect certainly makes a steepness factor!!

A route I very much want to do, I never knew of the gully though. Cracking video.
Absolutely superb and so inspiring. The Mrs has now come to call you “oh, The Crazy Guy” when I tell her you have a new video up 😆 Amazing, climbing and a level I hope to be at some day, simply brilliant videos.
haha - the crazy guy - hopefully I'm not too bad !!lol

Scotland's Mountains Not too crazy at all... she thinks Conic Hill is a mountain so that's the bench mark 😂 Excellent trips and really has booted my [insert body part] into gear to get out on the hills again.
Your gettin good at this..."producing crackin vid's" game Murray. Just stunning mate,

Great video thanks for sharing, really enjoyed it. Regards Ken
Absolutely love your videos. I am living in South East Asia now but still have my house in Crinan on the West Coast. These videos are my Scotland mountain fix, but at the same time makes me miss climbing there so much. Please keep up the good work and excellent content.
Thanks Alastair - always amazes me - modern tech- the fact that you are watching these on the other side of the world is awesome :)

Cracking Vid
What a great video, really well put together and annotated :)
Which way did you come off by the way as the walk off the "unmarked path" is a killer! :)
Hi Came up over the two munros and down the "tourist path in the Corrie :)

I've always been curious about Eag Dubh (aka Black Cleft), do climbers ever use that as an ascent route?
How many Sony batteries do you normally take on a trip Murray and is that the 12 to 24 G lens on there?
Cheers for another great video Murray
Hi Paul, I usually have two batteries (the sony nex batteries always di on me in cold weather - usually swap batteries and then re heat the one that has frozen !!) Its usually just the sony kit lens 18-55mm:)

Fabulous 🏔🏔🏔🏔🏔 I really enjoy your films although I just couldn’t climb those mountains I love to see them. Only Munro I’ve done was Lochnagar 👍🤗
ah Lochnagar - that was my first ever Munro - many moons ago - a great climb :)

Can you advise on your boots. I am looking for new boots and your boots seem to fare well climbing and with crampons, what are they and would you recommend?
Hi Norman - different people favour different types of boots - my only real advise would be to go into a shop where the staff can advise and try the boots on. Nothing worse than boots that don't fit right
good luck

Hi Murray. Revisiting this video again while in isolation. Do you think that B1 Boots, C1 Crampons, 1 straight axe and no rope would be alright on this route?
Amazing stuff as always bud. Heading up to Stac Pollaidh so hope weather plays ball. Atb
Hi Ray - watching your video - think Stac Pollaidh has to one of my favourite mountains - its got everything:) enjoye your video BTW

Fabulous indeed Murray. I knew this was going to be a good one. You took us right into the heart of Torridon. A varied day and one, which left you knowing full well it was a trip worth taking. Good going. Mark
Thank you - yeah felt satisfied after this one :)

Awesome mate inspiring
Superb vlog as usual Murray. Can I ask just 1 thing? Please please please stop saying over & out. There's no such thing. It's either 1 or the other! But still it's a small price to put up with for these great videos.
haha - I will do my best :)
Over and out ;)

Beautiful. This route has been on my to-do list for ten years now. To my shame, I've only visited Torridon once on the Cape Wrath Trail - must rectify that!
Hi Alex - can recommend Torridon enough - any of the hills here are simply stunning ! Hope you get round to rectifying soon :)

Scotland's Mountains ...... just back into Huaraz after a 10 day/140 km trek in the Cordillera Huayhuash. A couple of 5,000 m passes and stunning views of all the great mountains of the Huayhuash including Siula Grande. Had a yound hill walker from Elgin in our group. A few days before we head into the Cordillera Blanca for another 10 days to try to catch up on your postings.
