- Scrambling the Aonach Eagach Ridge, Glencoe Scotland.
Loads of exciting hands on scrambling footage on the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glencoe, Scotland. This video will give you a good idea of what to expect or you could just relive all the scrambly goodness.

Great video , giving potential walkers/climbers a great idea of what is ahead !!
Cheers mate. Being more a walker than anything else , I could have done with this sort of video 5 years ago.
Wow, best one i have seen yet.
Cheers Mike. 😎 👍🏻
Great video, really gives you a flavour of what to expect. My friend absolute raves about the ridge so I thought I'd have a look. Incredible, will be up this year or next fingers crossed!
Nice one Kev, if you've got a head for heights you'll love it. Not long to wait now. 🤞🏻
Really useful, thank you
Cheers, it's probably a bit dated now but serves a purpose.
Great film big man! I have bagged Sgorr nam Fiannaidh from The Clachaig Inn a few years ago and i hope to do the whole shebang this year sometime. This film gives a great insight to what you have to look forward to :)
Cheers MnC, hope you enjoy it as much as I did that day.
Well done👍
Cheers Jon. 👍🏻
Excellent video!! I've somehow done the ridge 6 times yet every time I swear to God I'm never doing it again!!
Cheers mate. That was my 3rd. It's good fun really. 😄
+Robinho08 It made the beer at the Clachaig taste so much better👏
Braw footage Robin. Good idea now what to expect. Cracking day for it!
+Kevin Russell Gezza shout when you're doing it Kev. I'd probably do it again.
Cheers mate. Will do!
Ace film! Looking to do this at some point this year and your footage will no doubt prove to be a very useful resource in my preparation. Kudos for the Munro Show reference too!
Cheers Fraser, an older film this. If you've got a good head for heights, you should be fine. You aiming for Spring/Summer?
Yeah, patiently waiting for the fairer weather to return. I only started climbing the Munros last April and have managed to bag 23 so far, but my lack of experience and possession of all the necessary gear for winter conditions means I'll have to bide my time. Thankfully there's no shortage of YT channels like your own keeping me entertained and inspired, so I look forward to watching more of your adventures! I've been thinking about purchasing a camera and trying my hand at film making, so we'll see if that comes to anything. The tech available nowadays is truly mind-blowing, and it would be fun to have a new creative outlet.
@@ConceptCarMusic ah nice one Fraser, there's always next winter once you've got a bit more experience under your belt. A winter skills course is recommended too, I could probably do with a refresher. The Ring of Steall is a good warm up for the Aonach Eagach.
Film making is great fun, I get a lot of enjoyment out of it and it's good to watch back for memories too. I started off using my phone then eventually bought a GoPro.
Cheers for The Ring of Steall recommendation, I'll certainly take that into consideration and a winter skills course is also on the agenda for this year.
I was looking at the GoPro H8 Black as the footage looks awesome and it's perfectly suited to my needs, although the reports of freezing/crashing is making me a tad hesitant. It would appear as though it's just luck of the draw as to whether you end up with a faulty unit or not. Can I ask if you've had any similar issues with yours?
@@ConceptCarMusic I've got the Hero Black 7 and it very occasionally freezes and I have to take the battery out. On the whole though I'm very happy with it and GoPro certainty have done a few firmware updates since. DJI Osmo Action is worth a look, they were down to £250 over Christmas.
superb mate (y)
Cheers bud. 😁
Why is the first part of this climb called Am Bodach when the Munro Am Bodach is a quite a bit further away? Always wondered!
The first Munro going east to west is Meall Dearg, Am Bodach is the first top you reach.
Thank God the sounds of nature are so beautiful! You don't ever hear endless jangle, do you? And so far from 'ultimate guide' there is no guidance whatsoever!!!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry you felt it didn't meet your expectations.
Granted the ditty does do ones tits in, these clips to me as a walker are helpful; the FPP is pretty good at giving you an idea of the baws you need to equip for this bad boy.
I can maybe see the scope to expand on narration… a more viable audio option than the music? Just my two cents. Still liked the video.
@@franallamadingdong thank you, appreciate your constructive feedback. In my defence I made this nearly 7 years ago in 2015. Looking back the music choice isn't great and vlogs including mine have come along way since then.
From what I researched online the ridge goes up one way only and then the only way to starting point is long walk of few miles back . Is this true or are there buses that can take us back ?
Hi Yaseem, yes it's a bit of a long walk back. The Citylink bus passes through Glen Coe, but it doesn't have official stop of points that suits the ridge. You could either thumb a lift or arrange the walk with someone else and have 2 cars.
@@WalkWithWallace thank you very much 🙌
New subscriber. Enjoying the channel.
Can I ask what camera(s) you use for your footage?
Cheers DD, this particular film was on a GoPro Hero 4 which I didn't like. I used my Samsung S7 Galaxy after that.
For the last year I've been using a GoPro Hero 7 Black.
@@WalkWithWallace Thought it might be. Done a few hills last year Beinn Ime, Ben Venue, Nevis, Lomond etc.
Looking forward to getting back up there once the better weather comes in. Thanks for posting your videos. Great content.
@@seanmacd4274 you got big plans this year, Munro bagging wise? I'm itching to get out myself. Off to Crianlarich this weekend. Hoping for some decent weather?
@@WalkWithWallace I was already looking at a trip to Arran for Goatfell, after watching your video and the wild camp that's confirmed it. Suilven and Macdui on the list too. Maybe the rest of the Arrochar Alps.
@@seanmacd4274 ah nice, that'll keep you busy. 😁
Looked very scary. There are so many bits where it looked like you should go left and you went to the small bit on the right lol. Terrifying
Yeah, avoid anything that looks like a bypass path and stick to the crest of the ridge. It's a fun day out if a tad airy. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace But why?
@@a.b.7569. dodgy slippy terrain.
@@WalkWithWallace Oh,wow,thanks,I thought the same:why not take the “path” if there is one,seemed easier 😳
Thanks for replying
@@a.b.7569. there's no path per se, just a kid on worn in by people looking for an alternative route. 😁 Take care.
The next 3-4 days of perfect weather forecasted for this area will be when I drop everything and tackle Aonach Eagach, Buachaille Etive Mor by The Curved Ridge & Nevis via Carn Mor Dearg. Wife wont be happy like.
stuie46 that sounds like the perfect way to spend 4 days. 👌🏼
The camera shake is understandable Robin😢😂
Haha, old one this mate. 😬
@@WalkWithWallace watching plenty of training videos just now.
@@alistairthow1384 ah yes. You're going to do the AE in the summer if I remember correctly?
@@WalkWithWallace in approximately a month's time.
I'm not going with any of my regulars incase anything happens.
But if I feel comfortable with it by the end then I will ask some that have the confidence.
Absolutely no false bravado aloud.
@@alistairthow1384 take your time and enjoy it.
Was going to try this but think this is too much for me to much exposure lol
Anthony Briwn save it for a good day if you do. Both Munros can be done as singletons if you still don't fancy the ridge.
Great video, thank you! But please, less ‘adventure’ music :-)
Cheers George. I know what you mean about the missus, this is one of my earlier videos. 😁
Unnecessary music and horrible shaky camera work. Much better videos of the route available.
I would concur Denis. Looking back this was made over 6 years ago and stabilisation on action cameras has come along way since then as has my filming and editing skills. 👍🏻
At the time I wanted to give people a feel of what to expect from the ridge.
