Awesome man. Lost world climb is a classic. Met him in 1994 alongside Chris Bonnington at Glencoe just before climbing Ben Nevis in a winter storm. Didn't appreciate it as much at the time, but it slowly catches on. I did not know that he climbed in Caucasus. Could have had a great time just like we did with Chris.
Nicely put together, a pleasure to see - I've been an admirer of Hamish since 1975. I like rock music too, but surely something less intrusive than the music here would be more appropriate.
Hey Nick, many thanks for watching and commenting. Regarding the music, I understand the point you’re making but I respectfully disagree - Hamish had a fairly rock n’ roll attitude and I wanted something bold and upbeat to reflect that. It’s meant to be intrusive - the events are really exciting and deserve the viewer’s attention. The idea was to show just how much fun Hamish had, and I think the music reflects that. Of course in going for unconventional music, it’s not going to be to everybody’s taste. Them’s the breaks. The track in question is actually the theme for the Mountain Folk segments of the other episodes, and since this is a ‘Mountain Folk Special’… well, you get the idea! 😆 Thanks again for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
You've knocked it the park this time , fantastic photos , brilliant biography, nothing else like it on Hamish in all TV. Only thing its Green-ock not bloody gre-nock, and you a Scotman. Other than fantastic episode, I'm gonna recommend this one to a few folk.
@@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios I completely get that. Just incredibly sad that Scottish Heritage didn't buy the house and return it to the way Hamish furnished the place and erect a Blue Plaque in his honour. A highly significant place in the World history of climbing and home of a true giant of this sport.
@manuelhung7571 Absolutely agree. 💯 It’s a real shame, would be a great place to have a wee museum of Hamish’s life, work and astonishing contribution to mountaineering and mountain rescue worldwide.

Nice tribute Sam. Well done.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Well done Sam this is a really fantastic series. Entertaining, informative and whetting my appetite to get back into the hills. Thank you
A true legend- awesome
Well done, Sam.
Thanks 😊
great video, thanks man. I like your Whillans impression! haha.
Thanks Paul. Haha yeah Whillans had the best banter. “I were climbing like a ruptured duck”... just brilliant. 😅
brilliant!

Excellent
Some machine. His last ascent was the North Face of Belford Hospital, Fort William.
Absolutely superb! If I can offer any criticism, it is only in the pronunciation of "Greenock".
Noted! 😀 GrEEnoch isn’t it, my bad 🤦♂️
There are hard men then there are hard quiet men
True that.
Summit is a noun not a verb!
I think you’ll find the mountaineering community may disagree with you on that; it can be both.
The house at Glencoe has been the subject of intense vandalism of late targetted at the last owner Jimmy Savile.
Yeah... we don't talk about him. 🤮

This might become a good film, but this hideous introductory music? Even worse, it jars at every section. Agony, and SO unsuited to the subject.
“Agony” lol
Noone’s forcing you to watch it if you don’t like it bro 😎
This guy cant pronounce Greenock , Salford or Palin.
This guy thanks you for watching
