I must have watched this video at least 10 times by now. It's a genuinely exceptional account of what looks to be one of the most incredible winter mountaineering days out, technically accessible to even fairly inexperienced winter mountaineers. More of these types of videos please!
Love your videos Murray absolutely fantastic.
Awesome mate inspiring
Brilliant - thank you
Another belter Murray. Love the fact that you do most of your trips on your own, as I do. Inspirational stuff. Love it 😎
thanks David :)

Climbed it many years ago. One of my favourite mountains. Great video
Really nice to see this route in the full. I have made three attempts on this so far. The first two ended up with a retreat over the first horn due to deteriorating weather and the last one in Feb 2018 was a retreat at one of the chock-stones. Sloppy granular snow and not enough to go over, but too much to go under. It came together later in the week though with similar sunlit views from Liathach after a date with George and his Sinister Prong. Maybe this year and attempt number 4, as I will be back in a couple of weeks.
Spectacular!! I was in the Torridon Hills in the second week of May this year myself. Hired a guide to climb Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin. Went up Beinn Eighe the first day, but we had to turn back due to an extremely strong wind that literally blew me off my feet now and then. Walked past the loch up to where the gully starts and saw some of the wreckage of the plane that once crashed there. The second day we reached Tom na Gruagaich (we started from the other side and came from a different direction) and than turned back again for the same reason, but I've regretted that ever since. I wanted to stretch myself, but actually didn't. Thanks for sharing!
Great effort and video without some of the tacky flashy stuff you sometimes get.
Cheers!
absolutely fantastic trip!!!
Absolutely brilliant 👍
What a spectacular trek and another great video

Fabulous indeed Murray. I knew this was going to be a good one. You took us right into the heart of Torridon. A varied day and one, which left you knowing full well it was a trip worth taking. Good going. Mark
Thank you - yeah felt satisfied after this one :)

Epic :-) After you found the chalk stone it looked like you were on a vertical wall of snow! Glad it was stable :-) Your fingers must have been freezing shooting those drone shots :-) Thanks for sharing 🏴
yes indeed - along with the batteries failing due to the cold - my fingers were next!!

Absolutely love your videos. I am living in South East Asia now but still have my house in Crinan on the West Coast. These videos are my Scotland mountain fix, but at the same time makes me miss climbing there so much. Please keep up the good work and excellent content.
Thanks Alastair - always amazes me - modern tech- the fact that you are watching these on the other side of the world is awesome :)

Cracking video mate. The old Gopro makes it look scary than it actually is. My favourite hill in Scotland. You have captured it well, cheers.
the fish eye effect certainly makes a steepness factor!!

Scotland's Mountains ...... just back into Huaraz after a 10 day/140 km trek in the Cordillera Huayhuash. A couple of 5,000 m passes and stunning views of all the great mountains of the Huayhuash including Siula Grande. Had a yound hill walker from Elgin in our group. A few days before we head into the Cordillera Blanca for another 10 days to try to catch up on your postings.
Amazing stuff as always bud. Heading up to Stac Pollaidh so hope weather plays ball. Atb
Hi Ray - watching your video - think Stac Pollaidh has to one of my favourite mountains - its got everything:) enjoye your video BTW

Beautiful. This route has been on my to-do list for ten years now. To my shame, I've only visited Torridon once on the Cape Wrath Trail - must rectify that!
Hi Alex - can recommend Torridon enough - any of the hills here are simply stunning ! Hope you get round to rectifying soon :)

Absolutely superb and so inspiring. The Mrs has now come to call you “oh, The Crazy Guy” when I tell her you have a new video up 😆 Amazing, climbing and a level I hope to be at some day, simply brilliant videos.
haha - the crazy guy - hopefully I'm not too bad !!lol

Scotland's Mountains Not too crazy at all... she thinks Conic Hill is a mountain so that's the bench mark 😂 Excellent trips and really has booted my [insert body part] into gear to get out on the hills again.
Great video, you got lucky with the weather! I was up Ben Lawers on Sunday and was in a complete whiteout after Beinn Ghlas so the views were non existent, still great fun though.
Thanks Christopher - yeah the eater was god and not as windy asexpected on the Horns of Alligin - a magical place

Cracking Vid
SPECTACULAR!!! How long did the walk take Murray??? Thanks for another fan-bloody-tastic production!!! Rich
Hi Rich- if memory serves me right - it took around 6-7 hours (might be wrong with that though!)
was a grand mountain day :)
Thanks for watching

What a great video, really well put together and annotated :)
Which way did you come off by the way as the walk off the "unmarked path" is a killer! :)
Hi Came up over the two munros and down the "tourist path in the Corrie :)

You really enjoyed that didn't you? It was so obvious, and so did I. Thank you.

Hi Murray. Revisiting this video again while in isolation. Do you think that B1 Boots, C1 Crampons, 1 straight axe and no rope would be alright on this route?
I've always been curious about Eag Dubh (aka Black Cleft), do climbers ever use that as an ascent route?
How many Sony batteries do you normally take on a trip Murray and is that the 12 to 24 G lens on there?
Cheers for another great video Murray
Hi Paul, I usually have two batteries (the sony nex batteries always di on me in cold weather - usually swap batteries and then re heat the one that has frozen !!) Its usually just the sony kit lens 18-55mm:)
Thanks for watching

Can you advise on your boots. I am looking for new boots and your boots seem to fare well climbing and with crampons, what are they and would you recommend?
Hi Norman - different people favour different types of boots - my only real advise would be to go into a shop where the staff can advise and try the boots on. Nothing worse than boots that don't fit right
good luck

Superb vlog as usual Murray. Can I ask just 1 thing? Please please please stop saying over & out. There's no such thing. It's either 1 or the other! But still it's a small price to put up with for these great videos.
haha - I will do my best :)
Over and out ;)
