Yes, when I go up to film I now always have a plan b so if the weather isnt on side or if I feel unsafe I'll go and do a wild camp or a hiking route instead so I can still get a video published without putting pressure on myself to do something dangerous just for UA-cam :-)
@thebaldscrambler Very wise! I bailed on a scramble a couple of weeks ago on Glyder Fawr. Really wanted to hit it, but the weather was awful and the rocks were slimey. Didn't fancy turning a great day out into a hospital visit!
Another excellent video, packed with top tips. I'd add ' Keep your eyes on the skies - helps you to spot potential changes in the weather before they arrive and soak you' 👍
There's a couple of challenging lines in that footage! The holds are there though, just a case of keeping my nerves calm, which I don't always do. There's been a few "oh shit" moments. :-).
I've recently got into hiking at the age of 52 it's my go to drug ive done pen y fan cadair idris and snowdon via the rhyd ddu path I took my missus on all three even though she has health problems good on her eh but no one wants to go with me on any hikes I'm like Billy no mates any one fancy the glyders with me i did this for my son who nearly died in a motorbike accident he had to have part of his skull replaced with a plate its the worst thing ive ever had to deal with love your content bald scrambler
Tip 6 is definitely the most important one to remember!

Great vid mate, definitely tip 6 is vital. If you are not comfortable, back off. 👍
Thank you, I've backed off a couple of times but have always come back at some point :-). Did crib lem spur today, cracking grade 1 route in the fog.
Do you want it is helpful to do indoor climbing to build skills for outdoor scrambling?
I've never been on an indoor wall, probably not needed for scrambling which isn't that steep.
@@thebaldscrambler have you done any outdoor roped rock climbing before?
Only a little, about 10+ years ago.
