    I so love my back yard... Nevis is a mecca for all sorts of climbing. Even for old punters like me! Well done Robbie and another nice video!

    Cheers from East Tennessee in the US, man. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos from the time you started your channel. The content continues to get better and better! Keep on keeping on my friend, and rock on. ~ Nick

    My home climbing area is New Hampshire in the US, which is basically Scotland with more trees. We can't really claim to be a world-class area area but there's plenty of world-class climbs. Always fun to discover the classics in your back yard :-)

    I don't think there's a point in commenting on the climbing - it's stellar as always. I really enjoyed the editing, shots and sound. Cheers!

    Well done. That's got me pretty psyched to pull on the fingerboard and get back up there in autumn.

    • @RobbiePhillips

      Nice one Martin :D Kinda keen myself to return and check out Ring of Steall too... What you keen for?

  • @Clownymind82

    Amazing looking crag and climb! It has a very trad feeling to it. Both the rock (colour reminds me of the grit on Black Rocks in the Peak) and the shapes aren't your regular straight and clean sport climbing type of shapes. Awesome vid! Salute! :)

    I'm going to stop calling myself "short" and start calling myself a "wee lady" 😂Great work!

    • @RobbiePhillips
      @RobbiePhillips  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha or proper Scot’s would be a “Wee Lassie”

  • @richardh3913

    That really does look like a beautiful place to climb

  • @stenlundstrom1652

    I've seen all your videos and this is the best so far 👌 🙌 Don't know what you did but keep it up

    • @RobbiePhillips
      @RobbiePhillips  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      HAHA! Thats brilliant :D I don't know wht I did... maybe Ryan's good footage made it better? :P

    • @stenlundstrom1652
      @stenlundstrom1652 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it is that you're really stoked on climbing on a superb crag in you're home country. Maybe some Scottish proudness shining through? Also nice footage 👌

  • @benruefmedia

    Another sick video. Looks like beautiful place, super eerie. 8b for a tall heavy guy is nothing to downplay, pretty damn impressive. But if I were a wee shorty I'd say the opposite hahaha

    Have you climbed with a guy named Malcolm Smith?

  • @Karmakameleeon
    @Karmakameleeon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Wait there’s sport climbing in the UK?? I thought there was only very poorly protected trad climbing!

    • @TheClanAdventures
      @TheClanAdventures 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      we just say theirs none so as to keep the crags to ourselves ;)
