Griaß di, Very nice tour and very nice video. I wish you a happy new year and a good start into 2025. Greetings from Allgäu, the Dude 🤙

Great video. Very good instructional format. Have a new Garmin watch so I appreciate the content. Going off subject a little but I am wondering what brand of trousers and jacket you are wearing in this video.

Brilliant video, very informative and absolutely love your drone work! Fantastic parallax on your panning shots. Just got a Tactix 7 Amoled and looking forward to using it in the beautiful Cambrian Mountains tomorrow. Thank you 👍

Best shells I've found yet is keela munro beats all other mountain shells I've tried but not packable realy I use 2 type shells light packable and mountain depending on weather fjallraven keb or vida pro great pants

Garmin watches + OS maps. Easy hiking navigation, not so easy on the wallet.

Really like that Columbia jacket, have had a rab downpour plus which has the pit zips, they make a huge difference, the colour is good as well.

The sock trick 😂 great stuff! I’m a big guy with blessed leg muscles (shame the rest of me doesn’t match) so struggled to find decent walking trousers that go over my thighs, RAB tights have sorted me right out, just wear a pair of comfortable shorts over the top… I love your waterproof coat, I have a gortex coat that I bought just before I saw some videos talking about gor isn’t what it used to be and other materials are now just as good, if not better… and merino wool all the way, bought some merino socks this spring which are game changers!

Fantastic episode man, so nicely put together! 👏👏

When it comes to base/mid layers & a hat, I swear by Marino/alpaca. It’s way better at regulating the body temperature when you have to put on the plastic bag(synthetic jacket).

I was thinking chris, could you do a video next year showing how you prepare for day climbs of one or more peaks and what you wear, rucksack size, what you take and how you prepare prior to the climb? A video this week on another channel showed a guy injured on his own after climbing crib Goch for the first time and was wearing jeans and trainers and his phone had died but was luckily found by other climbers who called mountain rescue. I carry a stratos 24 at 8kg with everything in it much to the amusement of other climbers but you never know. I did scafell pike a few years ago fully kitted up with people going up in t shirts and it was 7 degrees at the bottom. Minus 13 degrees wind chill at the top, a 20 degree change. When I got back down, a couple asked me how to get out of the car park to start the climb, totally unprepared it's scary. I think it would be a great video for newbies and to prepare them for what they're about to do. I also use mountain forecast (from advice from another of your videos in the past) to know the conditions days before I climb and I've only done a few Thanks chris. 👍

Chris, do you change what boots you wear depending on weather/terrain? Like what do you wear for lake district vs what you wear for winter hikes?

Brilliant video once again, good to know I've got the right kit for my mountain hikes from advice you've given in past videos. Need to get the pants as I've always worn cotton so I'll be looking out for some merino ones now. Wishing you and all your subscribers a merry Christmas and a happy new year and here's to many climbs in 2025. 👍

Will the route automatically direct me back to where I started or do I have to do somthing?

These are some really crazy shots. Loved the vlog 💌

Looks amazing! May I ask what drone you use, went up Pen y fan a few weeks ago in the snow and my DJI Mini 2 could not cope with the wind sadly 💔

I really enjoyed the An Teallach Traverse but hiked the ridge much later in the year during May when practically all the snow has gone!

My heart was in my mouth watching that. Glad for the advice you gave at the end. Really nicely filmed too!

Interesting vid. Here’s a question for all the Fenix owners. Has anyone suffered from the back sensor screen on their Fenix developing micro cracks? The issue is meant to be related to Deet affecting the plastic screen on the back of the watch. After informing Garmin they were not giving anything away as to how many instances they have had reported. Mine is a Fenix 5.

Brilliant video, really enjoyed it of a Munro that I haven't done. Very good decisions made by all, given the conditions and abilities. Micros spike were a bit questionable and agree that B2 a must. Not sure your boots were B2 compatible though, I my be wrong. Just as an aside, what camper have you got? Looking forward to watching more of your wee trip out.

Good decision making ...a serious place in those conditions.

You “smash “ nothing in this country , get real

That ice axe would be more useful in your hand than on your pack.....

Superb traverse; thanks for posting. Never a bad thing to come away a wee bit humbled...

Can you have your map and track open at the same time as the hike app open which track your hike

OS maps also own outdoor active which i think is much better and works better without singal

Great views! Epic drone footage! 😍 Btw, on the ascent to Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh you said "An doras, the window". An doras is actually 'the door'.

Montañas pequeñas 1000 MTS pero duras en invierno

This is awesome mate - I could watch footage of that ridge all day, it's the best 😍

Superb video Chris! Great effort doing it in the snow. I don’t have winter skills … do you have any recommendations for courses or training? Also, here’s my vid from An Teallach back in Sept if you’re interested … hottest day of the year :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWq2q3R4Zpmqbposi=_4Z5tAKODnSDUk40

Great video, I’ve always meant to do that route, somehow 20 years has passed 🤣 Did I see 2 guys in approach shoes? I see quite a few people up high ( in winter) in them nowadays. My ankles have always loved 3 or 4 season boots in winter- I would recommend stiff boots for remote munros- theirs nothing like finding a whole slope of rock hard neve that you need to traverse to keep you honest!

Can you use an iPhone to plot and download a route instead of a computer? Thanks

There’s nothing haunted about the hut Been in and out all my life

I’d have spare batteries. Mitts rather than one of the pairs gloves. Find Deuter rucksacks really heavy too.

You need goggles apart from lack off, you did well, enjoyed the video-Cheers Guys.

Lovely video. Absolutely stunning drone footage. Pleasant video to watch. Absolutely live it uo there had a lovely camp up there. I wouldn't go up a Mountian like that in those conditions without B2 crampons on glad u had both with yas . And I hope someone new how to test for the avalanche risk 👍👍Mini spikes are unsafe in those conditions . Be safe man. X

Epic stuff Chris 👌

Just the ticket. Cheers.

Great video Chris and as mentioned googles are a must in winter. I always carry a helmet in winter in the rucksack and use it if I feel it is necessary. A slip in summer and a slip in winter on the same route can have very different outcome. Cheers Dave

Dangerous mountain. Did you go up Corrag Buidhe buttress?

I remember the first & only time I did An Teallach in winter conditions & it’s more than just a winter hill walk It’s very committing & I would only advise people with winter experience/scrambling to attempt it Also worth taking two headtorches I think that’s the Petzl Swift Rl you’ve got & someone I know had theirs just die without warning

you absolutely need to carry ski goggles, essential kit for seeing where you are going

Epic day and great video. Makes me want to come for a visit. I do want to sound a note of caution, though. I hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, which are notorious for their high winds and sudden changes in weather conditions. Earlier this year, we lost a super-experienced hiker, Chris Roma--you can google accounts of his story. His story was pretty extreme, but I have thought a lot about the incident, and I now ask myself more what-if questions. What if there's a snow squall (or fog) that wipes out all visibility, especially with only a headlamp? What if I were forced to hunker down? You and your mates are obviously highly skilled, know your mountains and your weather, and are fully able to assess possible risks. All I know is that the older I get, the more I think about the border between Type 2 fun and Type 3 fun. In case you're wondering, Type 3 = "never again." P.S.: Only recently did I learn from real-life accounts that after you push the Garmin button it takes search-and-rescue a MINIMUM of 3 hours during daylight hours, and much longer at night or if the whether is awful (which of course is when you need them).

Quality stuff. An Teallach is on the list for this summer week be a few more winters before I'm confident for that. Well done to you all

Absolutely brilliant video Chris and I love the part at the end when you talk about the kit and emergency equipment to be prepared for the worst. I'm also glad I turned back after hearing from you and Rab what it was like up there when you got back down to the vans 😂 Gotta know your own limitations and use your own intuition at times

Super useful video thanks! It hearts my soul to see 0 trees though.

Beautifully shot. Stunning views all around.

What a weather conditions!

Hi Chris, this is Ilham from Kaizen, I have been to trying to reach out to you for a little while. Could you please get back to me soon :) Thanks!

There's some beautiful cinematography in there. Fantastic work!

Is there a post code for the car park??
