      Great video. Klibreck was my dad's favourite mountain . . . he was born in Lairg in 1914 and took me up when I was five in 1952. I've climbed it half a dozen times since then and scattered my dad's ashes around the larger cairn on the first peak, Cnoc Sgriodain, at midnight in late June 1987. I now live in Vancouver but get back to Sutherland every year to walk the magic hills. In 2019, I climbed Suilven, Cul More, Ben More Assynt, Conical and Quinag some 53 years after I first climbed them. Hoping to get back there later this year, vaccinations and quarantines permitting!

      @@rogerwatt8491 thanks for sharing Roger, it really is a great place. Can see why it would have been your dad’s favourite, hopefully things get better in the coming months and you can get back there. Thanks for watching,

    This reminds me what a great hill this is particularly in weather like that - beautiful. Sadly many reserve it for a poor weather day and don't get that feel at all.

    Beautiful video! We’ve got some gorgeous mountains just outside of Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I like watching videos like these of other places. Keep your content coming! I’m following!

    Great video! I really enjoyed doing Klibreck - did it in the afternoon after having done Hope in the morning. The remoteness of Sutherland is something else 😃

    • @ScottishMunroJourney
      @ScottishMunroJourney  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks! Ah sounds good, I did half think about that but lack of winter hours put me off a little - yes the remoteness is crazy.
      Looking forward to doing Ben Hope! (might leave it until last)

    How tough a hike is this? I’ve seen Steven Fallon rank it in his top 10 hardest but it seemed like a jokey reason. Looking to visit my gran’s (she stays in Dornoch) and get in a round of golf. Looking to bag this and Ben Wyvis during the trip. I can’t see Ben Wyvis being a struggle at all but the only hardish hikes I’ve done so far were the full east 6 of Glenshee and Lochnagar on its own (going to give the circuit a crack Tuesday). Is there anything particularly technical or is it just a bit of a boggy slog?

    • @ScottishMunroJourney
      @ScottishMunroJourney  Рік тому

      This isn’t too bad, just a bit boggy and a few false summits.. Ben Wyvis is pretty easy too at 4-5 hours 😁 Enjoy! James
