Lagangarbh Buttress | Remembering the Ropes

- After a long time away from the rock and also working with rope on the mountain, I needed a refresher before our next big trip away. Never a better mountain than the massive lump of rock that is Stob Dearg to get back on the ropes again.....

Oh wow..absolutely fantastic, totally awesome views and weldone you 3 for getting up there..and always great to see and listen to Gerry too 🥰
Gerrry looks the part as a Widerness guide with his beasty off roader and knowledge of the fauna😊.
What way to spend a day. Thank you guys
Fabulous vid!
Enjoy the Alps!
Thank you Murray, Gerry, Frazer, looks fun but intense, lovely views :D hope you all enjoy the trip.
Absolutely tremendous 360 gent's! The pinnacle of mountaineering is surely a summit with such a stunning panoramic view, where you can identify neighbouring ranges & peaks. Thanks for your educational tour of the Highlands there!
Great clip Murray. Motivated me to dust off the ropes too after many years thinking about it.🙂
Just bought another two pictures of the buachaille, my absolute favourite
Superb Murray 😍..Loved it 😁..Love all the scrambles on Stob Dearg…The Lagangarbh Buttress is amazing 😁..Easy to come off the scramble route though and end up on a climb…My favourite is the great Gully Buttress..Fancy the North Buttress scramble ..Just out of my scramble league.Good to see you back on the Mountains 😁👍
just fantastic view was my first munro as we came up from the north of England and driving into glen Coe there she sits in all her glory i have been up many times (not scramble) she is my one time mountain i will always go up i have sat on that summit many times not always clear wind/rain/and snow but i love her so much so that when my time his up that is were i want my ashes Scatter there so i can always look around glen Coe thank you Murray for a fab blog hope you have a great time in the alps
Really enjoyed this one as always, beautiful day and something different on the ropes, Gerry looked pleased that you didn’t pull him off 🤣, love you and Gerry’s 360, looking forward to your Alps trip.
What a glorious day. I love hearing Gerry’s understated way of describing the route you are taking. All the lochans in the Glen looked so inviting. Thanks for taking us along! ATB
Thanks Erin - it was a fabulous day indeed - long may the good weather stay!! (fingers crossed)
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
He's the Bill Mclaren of buttress commentary😊.
Cracking stuff ☝🐕
Was up the Buchallie last Thursday. Spectacular climb and that was me going the normal route
Oh l loved that Murray. I was there yesterday on a super day, not the Buachaille but across the road on the Staircase. Hope to get up the Buachaille not your route though, the tourist route 😉 love Gerrys banter. Thanks Murray Alioban
Hope you had fun :) its an amazing area Glen Coe and the weathers been pretty good too :)
that little joke at 10:09 with the wee cheeky grin afterwards lol - great vid and what a fantastic companion Gerry is - knowledgeable, experienced and funny!
As you said, so many great scrambles and climbs on the Buchaille.
Brilliant weather, great views.
Good memories, thanks.
That was Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! Have fun in the Alps!
Really enjoyed this one Murray. Great to see something different and some rope work. Did laugh out loud when you said, up the buttress 😂 I went a bit Sid James 😂. Anyway brilliant video as always and can’t wait for the Alps vlogs. Until the next one, take care and ATB
Wow, we loved watching this video Murray. Great to see you back on the ropes with Gerry, it has been a long time but you seemed to pick right up where you left off😊👌. What a day you got for the climb too. Gerry's 360s are awesome! We are very jealous of such in depth knowledge of Scotland's mountains, amazing stuff 😊 ⛰️ . You must be very excited for your trip to the Alps, are you planning on making you tube videos of your climbs? We would love to see them. Thanks for taking us along on this one. ATB Shell and Pete
Thanks Folks - hoping the Alps will yield a video at some point in the future 👍 this was a great day on the Buchaille and Lagangarbh buttress is a really nice way up 👍👍
Take care
Murray
You had a nice day for a hike.
Gerry is full of energy and knows the mountains like the back of his hand!
It’s nice to hike with friends..safety in numbers too!
Another great video and take care 🇨🇦❤️
Recipe. Start videoing. Add 1 Buachaille. Perfection every time.
Preparation, preparation, preparation. Here's to a successful trip to the alps Murray. I'm only mildly envious (not) and look forward to seeing your vlogs from there. Stay safe and have fun. ATB
It sure was a beautiful and scorching hot day up there lol even for the tourists ie Me :). Loving the new 360 commentary by Gerry lol as 'every little helps' me to try and remember and pronounce those gaelic summit names which to date eludes me and leaves my head spinning ATB and stay safe on your hols off camera :) M ☘️
All the best Merky. Murray shared your secret. Must visit the Emerald Isle… G
Thanks Merky and really great meeting you up there on Friday evening - such a good weekend for the hills - let’s hope there are many more weekend line this for the rest of the year 🤞🤞🤞👍👍
@@AlpinistGGerry Appreciated :) lol caring is sharing tell Murray :) 📖
Not usually into climbing but today's video actually got me thinking 🙂
Lovely vlog, what fantastic views, good luck in the Alps
That looked like a brilliant day. I'm slowly improving my trad climbing in the hopes of doing routes like that.
Wonderful, love this mountain. Have a fab time in the Alps. Is Fraser related to Gerry?
"Have you lads been practicing?.. nobody told me!".... that made me chuckle Murray 😂
Looked brilliant and perfect conditions/location to sharpen up the skills.
Here's hoping you've also packed a wingsuit for an alternative piece to camera on your holiday Murray 👌😬
Thanks Al - not too sure about the wing suit idea though 😂😂
Really enjoyed this one fantastic mountain for a walker like me, we did it after a full 24 hours of rain. The view over Rannoch was crystal clear but clouds were rolling over the ridges around Loch etive. Fantastic memories, I for one can highly recommend Gerrys book. Enjoy the Alps and keep up the fantastic work 👏.
It’s hard to beat the Buachaille when the views are clear 👍👍
wow the scenery and weather this day was absolutely incredible. loved watching the rope footage, something a little different that adds extra excitement to the video! thanks for sharing, can't wait for more adventures from you! 😇
Thanks 👍 hope you enjoyed the adventure :)
Take care and thanks for watching
M
Looks an exciting climb!
Great vid as always
Amazing stuff Murray... I wanna come do this with you guys!
Best, from a rainy Perth 🇦🇺
Brilliant as always troops
Thanks Scott - Twas a fine weekend in the ☀️
A fine double act 🧗♂️🧗♂️ on a truly fantastic mountain 🏔 it was a scorcher ☀️ i seen that green rope from the CMD ARÊTE 😆 apologies for knocking on your van door on saturday night i had to bump into you at some point you look a lot younger in the flesh 🤪 great vid enjoy the alps guys 🏔 🏔 🏔 😎
Haha - about 30 years younger in the flesh 😂😂 nice meeting you too and hope you had a great few days in the mountains too David 👍👍
Wonderful video gents, I love your trips up the Buachaille. What fantastic weather you had! 🌞😀🥾⛰🏴
Thanks Dave - the weather gods were smiling on us for sure 👍
Nice to dust aff the climbing cobwebs Murray. Been years since I've climbed like... Prefer easier climbs like. Gerry kens his stuff eh....stunning day. 😎
I was sent to Immediate Assessment Unit at QEUH on Friday Murray. Knees showing sign of infection!!
hope you are ok and get the knees sorted Douglas
Wow! What a stunning video- from the waving grasses at the start to the fantastic panoramic views and Gerry’s descriptions- Iloved every minute and watched with a broad smile on my face. Thank you for sharing your adventures . Enjoy your visit to the Alps “Stay safe out there” and hopefully you’ll take your cameras with you.😁⛰🏔😎
Thanks Anne 🙏👍
Another cracking video with epic views. I've only walked up Stob Dearg once (the walking route, not the scrambling/climbing route) and I remember how amazing the view was. Are you creating videos when you are in the alps? Going anywhere specific?
Thanks Jules 👍 The Buachaille is an amazing view point - so close to Rannoch moor 👌 I’ll be taking the camera to the Alps so hoping for something resembling a vlog at some point 👍 catch up soon
Murray
I really enjoyed the vlog Murray 👌 it's on my to do list scrambling up the Buchaille 🏔 some cracking albeit scary views at times with the camera angle 😮 I loved listening to Gerry rhyming off all the peaks 🏔 great knowledge acquired over many years 😀 I hope you guys have a fantastic time in the Alps 🏔 I'm heading there myself in September, no ropes involved though, just a leisurely stroll around the Chamonix area over 3 days ....well at least I hope leisurely 😜 atb Brian 👍
Thanks Brian - enjoy you trip in September 👍👍
That was a wealth of knowledge about all the mountains near the end there. Great to see some rope climbing. I like going up to the hills but I've no head for heights. Is it possible to climb up to the summit following a safe path ? Or are there drops. Also thanks for your last video. I did Ben macdui from linn of dee. I camped and went up the next day. By gosh what a walk. I was knackered but it was worth it. Clear skies, hot. Passed the tree where you put your bike. The video was really helpful so thanks.
Fantastic view at the top and Gerry has definitely nailed the Gaelic pronunciation of those mountains! Were there any Irn Bru jelly babies this time?
Sold out 😵💫😂😂
Ah that’s a shame. If possible I’d love to see them feature in as many videos as possible! 😂
What an amazing hike. I've still to do this one. I'm assuming the route most hikers take is via the corrie near the white house?
Hi Marco - yes thats correct the normal path goes up through the corrie :)
Great video! I assume I missed the crux with my 'wrong way' when I did it...is the crux after the biggest upper bump? (Sorry for the bad description 🤔)Looks almost as the gully is on your left down and the wet rock description fits as well 😂👍
Have a wonderful time in the Alps, looking forward to see hopefully some familiar mountains 🤞
Thanks Stripey
Thanks Stripey - hoping to get a video of the Alps at some point 👍👍
@@ScotlandsMountains oh, did I catch it wrong? I thought you would go and actually wanted to ask you into which region...heading to Germany soon unfortunately for work, family,...so I won't have time this time. The good thing is I have already the permission as soon as it fits timewise 😃
