  • Three seastacks, two climbers, and just one day to complete it all.
    You've seen insane climbing challenges on CZcams before...but here is a completely pointless challenge. After suffering on The Long Hope, Robbie Phillips and Alex Moore decided they hadn't had enough adventure for one climbing trip.
    The Challenge - Climb 'The Old Man of Hoy', 'Am Buichaille', and 'The Old Man of Stoer' in 24hrs. Why? Why Not - It's a pointless climbing adventure film about a pointless climbing challenge.
    If you liked 'Not a Hope in Hoy', you might find this mildly amusing. If you hated it, best click off now and get on with your day.

    So good to see a new video from Robbie. The drone shots are amazing! Medieval challenge for the true knights of rock climbing.

    there may have been little point to this expedition from a climbing point of view but it made a proper wicked film. Thanks Robbie and Alex. Legend status further cemented

    You two make a great combo - Alex is so chill and can laugh at the absurdity of it all, and yet is so strong and determined. More pointless challenges, please. Or, dare I say it a challenge vs the Wide Boyz....

      Yeah it’s supposed to be. I kinda went for ridiculous music for the first two - like the Tokyo drift opening scene for am Buachille is the most ridiculous thing ever.

    Really good film, I really like how you guys seemed a bit broken at the end and acknowledged how pointless the challenge was. "We had a horrible holiday on Hoy" hahaaa. Your planning for the swim however, was shockingly bad haha. You guys were lucky not to get seriously hurt. One big wave and you could've been smashed up against some rocks. Glad you made it but be more prepared for anymore swims in the sea haha.

    I'm really impressed by this. We just climbed these three stacks over four days and used this vid for some helpful beta. We came over from Sweden not really expecting anything (except bad weather maybe) and only really hoping to do the Hoy and see some grass and sheep. However the weather last week was exceptional and we grabbed the moments and managed to get all three done i a couple of days. We're of course impressed with that you climbed all of them in 24 h but even more that you actually managed to get between them in this time. Hats of lads! That's effin insane! We're happy with how our little roadtrip turned out and that we got to experience this part of the world in such amazing weather. We still have a week left here, any places in Scotland you would recommend us going climbing while we're at it?

    • @RobbiePhillips
      @RobbiePhillips  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Wow! Great effort on the three and I'm super happy to hear that the video helped. I'd really recommend going to Skye before you go home - if you want a fun mountain challenge thats mostly walking/scrambling and a tiny bit of rock climbing, the Cuillin Ridge is a mega thing to do. I've done it twice but planning again this year - the views are incredible and if you get the conditions its probably the best day out in Scotland (if you do it in a day - most do over 2 days). Also tower ridge on Ben Nevis would be a fun big day out and you'd tick the UK's highest mountain.

      @@RobbiePhillips Thanks Pal. Climbed at Stac Pollaidh, which was beautiful, before heading down to Fort William for some mountain biking. Scrambled up the Tower ridge, as recommnded which was fun but made the mistake of walking down the highway instead of a more direct and less crowded decent. Never the less, a fun day out! Thanks for the tips! Super impressed with the richness of Scottish climbing and will likely head over again. Peace out!
