Excellent traverse of my favourite mountain. I am just about to embark on it once again. My munroist dogs Robbie and Rory ashes are scattered on this mountain and I have made a point of climbing these mountains on my 10th birthday markers starting from 40 years old so 10 th of May this year my 70th I will be back on these stunning hills. I climb it from your decent. Been on the School ridge. But don’t think I have the upper body strength to scramble anymore so will slog up to the
Bealach. Great footage well done.
What a thoroughly engaging and likeable young man this is, absolute pleasure to share in his adventures speaking for those of us whose days on the hills are long past. His videos show editing at its best and remind us just how beautiful Scotland is, lifting the spirits of all who watch them. Well done, very well done and appreciated indeed.
Thank you so much for your kind comments Glen - I enjoy making these videos for others & myself to watch back so I’m glad you enjoy them! It’s not a hard job to make Scotland look beautiful 😁
Cheers, James
Brilliant video, loved the drone footage at the ridge when it starts to get proper scrambly, we went up there on Saturday there, one of the best days on the hills I've ever had
Thank you, its an epic hike
Another great vid , made even better with Beluga Lagoon 🏴❤️🤙👍
Thanks Gavin 😁
Atb, James

Thanks Lucie 😁
Atb, James
That looks like a beautiful trail to hike with incredible views and dronies, would love to shoot a solo hike there one day. I really like how you guide the viewer through your adventure. Great work James, you definitely got a new subscriber here, your channel is a gem. Have a wonderful week. Take care out there. Best wishes, Mario
Thanks for watching Mario, glad you enjoyed 😁

One of the mountains I made an attempt on but didn't get to the top. I did it in late spring and didn't have winter gear but I got to a section where all the rocks had running water and about an inch of smooth ice over them, from spring snow thaw I'd imagine. I decided the risks were more than the rewards and turned back. Oh well! Better that than taking a header off the ridge!
Can imagine that would be pretty intimidating with some ice on it, correct decision turning back.. not always an easy one to make..
Thanks for watching
Atb, James
another grate video. looked amazing.
One of my favourites so far 😁🏔
Just because you're not well known doesn't mean that you aren't worthy of praise.
The comment applies to both the hill and yourself James.👏
Thanks for watching Alistair 😁
Atb, James
What a set of ridges. Thanks for letting the views do the talking. Climbed this in a group in cloud and our leader took us down the wrong side of the final ridge leaving us about 5 miles back on that road...
Fantastic ridge & Munros😁 that must have been torture at the end of your day 😧..
Atb, James
Brilliant it’s great when you get the views 👌
Got lucky that day 😁 thanks for watching,
Atb, James
Great video. Unbelievable views up there. I done them myself a couple of years ago.
That walk back along the road absolutely destroyed me 😂
Thank you, the road walk is a nightmare 😂 I regret not dropping my bike off
Love the drone footage. What a beautiful view. Wish we had peaks like this in the Netherlands 😉
Brilliant James ! Superb video - what a day and you captured it superbly - really enjoyed this sir 👏👏👍👌
Thanks Murray, one of my favourites so far 😁 excited to hit Glencoe in the coming weeks
Atb, James
Nice to see ypou back out James. I love your drone footage. Why do you not park your bike at the end and cycle back?
Thanks Eddie! Looking back that would have been sensible.. I will know for next time 😁
Atb, James
Fabulous. Loved the drone footage of the ridge...and the rest too. Did those mountains in the 1980s.
Thanks Annie, the ridge was fantastic 😁 bet that brought back some great memories then 😁
Atb, James
Brilliant James! Did this in Saturday and the views were outstanding. The walk back to the car was a killer though.
Cheers Fraser, hope you had a great day 😁👍
Atb, James
Can i ask?Why is that the walk back to the car a killer?
Thanks
@@86Eddieb just very long
Hi James, Very nice, what a day you had on these fine tops. Great footage as always. Cheers, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie, really enjoyed this route 😁 atb, James
Great vid...was up there last July...
I went up from the bridge. A wonderful hike and as you showed real good views.
Thanks very much...
Thanks Richard, it is a fantastic day out 😁
Atb, James
The Vair pair via an interesting route! We were in a rush doing these and just went up and down through the forestry tracks and up one corrie to your 2nd of the day, onto your 1st and down same way you did - bit on a steep scramble through trees as the path just seemed to disappear. Thanks for uploading. Awesome drone shots of you ascending the ridge! 🏴⛰👍
It’s a fantastic ridge - great reason to return and do them again 😁 thanks for watching
Atb, James
Another great video, I can see why you saved these ones for a good day, views were stunning.
Sometimes its worth the wait Gary 😁 Thanks for watching, atb, James
Superb James. I'm actually just back in the house after doing those two munros today. Very similar conditions although less snow. That's a fair pull up to the ridge at the start - certainly gets the heart pumping. The walk out was good until hitting that track and then road seemed to go on for ages. Look forward to ur new outing.
Thanks Selwyn 😁 hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, one of my favourites already! Your right, its a fair pull up the ridge! Thanks for watching,
Atb, James
Brilliant mate and as per usual I did it the opposite direction and missed going up the ridge 😂 so will just have to do it again 👍🏻😂! But they are a cracking 2 Munro’s 😎
Haha worth doing again then mate 😁👍 Cracking Munros 😁
Great watching you. Reminded me of my hike there 2021 May.
Must get back up to the Highlands in April.
Thanks 😊
Enjoy your trip in April 😁🏔
James
Top video James . You got a mighty fine day for this great route. Superb drone footage with great views all round. I really enjoyed this route too. All the best. Andrew 👍
Thanks Andrew 😁 glad the weather seems to finally be looking up 😁
Atb, James
Done these 5 years ago in winter, brilliant hills, but your right about the walkout 🤣 Do you mind me asking what drone you use .
That must have been epic in Winter! Im using the DJI Air2s 😁
Cheers, James
Brilliant James. You captured the views so well. Gordon
Thanks Gordon 😁 Great couple of Munros
Atb, James
Fantastic video mate. Really really gripping stuff. Been up over those two a couple of times, but you really brought home the majesty and wonder of these mountains. Properly good video. Love your work.
Thanks for watching 😁 glad you enjoyed, its easy to get great footage on mountains like these 😂
Atb, James
Another epic and truly inspirational video. You're really convincing us to head north
Amazing weather and drone footage. I took my wife on this route - her first Munro’s. Word of caution: don’t follow the burn down through the forest it’s well sketchy and drops into a steep dangerous gorge, best to head to the right, around the forest perimeter.
Thanks 😁 great ones to pick for your wifes first Munros 😁
Atb, James
You so right...I made the mistake last July of walking down then heading left ..it was hard going....
Fantastic James. Cracking pair of mountains, and footage. Cheers, Andy.👍
Thanks Andy, a day I wont forget in a hurry 😁 atb, James
Stunning James. Barry drone footage as per usual. 😎
Cheers Kev 😁 cracking hill!
Atb, James
Mate what a hike looks amazing now I’m stuck was going to do buchel etive mor home on the 5th May what to do 😂
Haha tough one, both a great day out!
One of my favourite routes James.Drone footage of you on the Schoolhouse Ridge was excellent.A few years ago since i've done it but it is high on the list of ones to go back to with the drone as i never had one at the time.😀👍
Its a fantastic route Andy, definitely one for the drone 😁👍 i’ll no doubt be doing it again one day too
Atb, James
Superb 👏 👏, your rattling them in....
Thanks Barrie, enjoying the long days and improving weather 😁
Atb, James
Stunning that area and perfect day for it. You certainly seem to have overcome your fear of heights now.
Really enjoyed this one 😁 seem to have conquered my fear - especially with my latest adventure 😧 video coming in a few weeks.. 😂
Atb, James
@@ScottishMunroJourney be good to see that one! We're off to Skye to have a wander up the black cuillin next week. Can't wait.
Another great hike. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching 😁 atb, James
Outstanding work bud, I really felt peacefulness and solitude of this one.
Thanks, Great pair of Munros 😁
Atb, James
Thanks James, really enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching 😁
Atb, James
Superb photography James 👍
Thank you 😁
Atb, James
Save the 10 out of 10 for An Teallach! But I would have rated that 9.5 out of 10 at least, especially with that fantastic drone footage. I did the "Schoolhouse Ridge" ascent a few years ago and loved it, but I had terrible cramp as I'd been tiling a floor the week before the walk, and the views were great but not as good as the ones you got. We left a car at each end of the walk, so we didn't have to do the road walk back.
It might be 😁 I maybe have a 10/10 coming up in the next few videos…
The ridge was fantastic, really enjoyed it 😁 great idea with two cars, I wish I had left my bike at one end, ill know for next time! Thanks for watching
Atb, James
Fantastic footage mate,recently subscribed to your channel,its brill !!
Got these 2 planned for the summer,like you I've wanted to do them for quite some time.
What is the name of the band that's playing in the background of the video ?,beautiful song !!
Thanks for watching/subscribing 😁 fantastic mountains, worth the wait! Its Beluga Lagoon, fantastic band 😁
Atb, James
Great video! Fortunately, this appeared in my suggested videos, new subscriber here. Fantastic views and excellent videography, some effort doing all that filming yourself 👍🏻
Cheers Mark, was a great day! Filming did add a few miles to the walk 😂 thanks for watching,
Atb, James
Lucked out on the weather again mate, cracking day. Atb
Seem to be getting lucky with the weather recently 😁
Atb, James
I've just down this exact walk today but had slightly better weather than you. As you said amazing views from the top but your right about the walk along the road.
Hope you enjoyed Andy 😁 It was a great day out!
