  • Filmed a few weeks ago on a rare perfect day on Ben Nevis, Dave MacLeod reflects on what life in lockdown means for climbers, and looks forward to the day when we can return to the mountains.

    "Looks steeper when you're on the face"...
    Scared the crap out of me and that was on the easier 3.
    Loved the sight of man walking on knuckles,then bent in half, then...upright with no assistance.
    Great filming and editing Dave...well done !

    Thank you for bringing the Ben into our lonely living rooms Dave.
    Means a lot to me.

    Great video. Just what we all need to keep our minds open and a reason to use these times to train.

    Going for my first trip back up that end for a couple of years, hoping to hit Ice factor up and cut about the mamores for a couple of days. Then a wee trip up the Ben.

    Great videos! I'd be interested to see a video on transferring basic strength and energy system gains made during lockdown onto real rock and routes. How would you go about making that transition from home training to rock both mentally and physically?

    So this is how Ben Nevis really looks like, all this - storms and strong winds is just a myth :D

    Wow I loved your drone footage and the voice over. I need to apply that to some of my footage. I just published a video this morning. Great content, you earned a subscription!

    Great video! What do you mount the GoPro on when you do the handheld clips? It looks really smooth. I'll be on my hangboard waiting for an answer now I've got a motivation kick! Take care, stay safe.

    Great drone shots! Great route and ice axing... I miss it so much. :D Is it a Gopro on your helmet Dave?

    Is that the Kinesis jacket that you are wearing?

      Yep. I basically live in it for winter bouldering, winter climbing and summer mountain trad. Warm but ridiculously light which is the number one concern for me.
