Does this terrifying ridge walk live up to its name? (The Devils Ridge)

  • Hi all and welcome back to another adventure.
    This time we were attempting six of the ten mamores starting from glen nevis over two days. We planned to camp at Steall Falls, the UK’s second highest waterfall. The first day we would climb two munros and the second we would tackle the Devils Ridge and the other four Munros of the trip. Did this ridge live up to the hype?
    Hopefully you enjoy the video.

    Brilliant stuff! Scotland is simply the best. The terrain is so diverse, chuck in the seasons & it's never the same twice. Keep it up chaps👍

    Did this route on our honeymoon in 1995 in the snow. Beautiful place in the mountains, a fantastic experience. Well done, keep those boots busy!😊

    Excellent video, very well filmed with great content.
    That looked to be a great camping spot along from An Steall too.
    Cheers 👍
    The outro clip is absolutely beautiful, what a lovely way to finish the trip.

    Those ridges remind me of dragons' or dinosaurs' backs - just waiting for them to wake up and flex their spines!

    Thanks a ton for that video!
    I did the Devils Ridge when it was covered in snow and it's been very interesting to see what it looks like in the summer. I am eager to see what you will put up to your channel inthe future!

    Hello 🙋‍♂️.
    Hope you are good !!
    You said in the YT VID it was around 5pm (17.00) and you were hungry 😋 and
    you both went for 🍟 chips - then, from
    Ft William, you both walked back, passed the
    YH and carried on till you reached the
    Steel Falls - that was some
    hike / walk 🥾 you must have been
    knackered that night ??
    I am familiar with that part of the
    Country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I cycled, walked,
    camped in my Campervan 🚐,
    however - if I have got your route
    correct it was a pretty amazing
    day you both had !!
    I climbed BN and got lost in the fog
    and snow ❄️ - however managed
    to come off the BN (safely) and ended
    up at the falls and walked back
    to my campervan 🚐 which was
    parked at the YH - was that tired
    😴 💤🛌🥱 I slept with my kit
    on - very hungry, but to tired to
    make any food 🥘 till the next
    morning !!
    Well done 👍
    Thanks 🙏
    James 🫶✌️

      Nah we did a couple munros in that area and then drove to the chippy and back to the waterfall to camp. Would be a bit far to walk i think😂😂

      Hello 🙋‍♂️.
      Thanks for your reply.
      It was very much appreciated !!
      Ah’ ok 👌 I was thinking 🤔 it would have been a good old walk if you did try it….. I also loved the; Steel Bridge
      it was a tad scary on the first cross, but fun….
      BTW - I think 🤔 you have the determination to keep walking 🚶‍♂️ as part of your hobbies - may I cheekily and boldly suggest that you start thinking about taking walking poles (sticks) with you !! I know they are a pain - however, they will extend the years you will be able to walk on these AMAZING MOUNTAINS 🏔 in our beautiful Country Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.
      The damage you are doing to your knee caps with constant pounding is pretty serious stuff.
      It will eventually catch up with you and unfortunately may have a detrimental effect later on in your life and prohibit you from climbing !!
      I also carry mine - but use them on the way down as this is when your knee caps take the biggest pounding.
      Good luck - I might even pass you one day - big mountains ⛰ small world !!
      Thanks 🙏
      Take care and stay safe 🫶
      James ✌️.

      I’m very jealous 😂😂 always wanted to visit Canada, I’m sure I will at some point in my life. The hiking in Scotland is great but Canada just looks incredible, I bet your trips have been amazing

      Haha yeh it’s definitely one to do, one of my favourite walks I’ve done for sure. We got unbelievably lucky with the weather aswell, making the most of the couple days of sun we get each year😂

      Aw was about 30 degrees celcius. So 85 Fahrenheit I believe. Probably not hot for you but we were too warm 😂
