my 8th wonder of the world-can’t wait to climb.

[@nyrbsamoht]

that was absolutely spectacular. it embodies everything i love about climbing

[@gregpphoto]

I'm going to Scotland next month with some friends and this is high on our list. Beautiful video, really stoked for the adventure!

[@scotta.m6859]

Thanks to all involved. Watching it made me relaxed and happy. Very nice.

[@yeskiii]

this video is truly the epitome of my perfect relaxed climbing day, thanks so much for sharing!!! So beautiful

It’s a thorough miracle every inch isn’t covered by bird crap

[@josemanuelramirez4098]

Yes, I agree with all this people and their style doing climbing, nice, very nice report and absolutely nice the place where they are, great job!!!!! congratulation!!!!!!

[@jameseagle7261]

Nice story, very good film works.

[@KubaClimbsRocks]

Grand day out with friends, enjoying the climbing, the weather and the company! Very relaxing video :)

[@sapinva]

Pretty climb. The face around the corner to the left looks really interesting.

[@agnome1176]

Pip-pip & cheerio ! 😁🤙 Solid production ! showing great strides & as always great stuff - ! solid climbing on solid turff at the ends of the earth ! Be ever-so well here's to ya'~ BRAVO ! ~

[@wallamandy4311]

What a beautiful adventures...

[@chdslDave]

Many thanks for taking the time to post some kind comments as it is muchly appreciated. Also many apologies to all the Gaelic speakers out there as having been put right on the correct pronunciation of Am Buachaille a few times, I believe Buachaille is pronounced Boo-kle! Being Bristol based I'm afraid my talent for Gaelic has never been my strongest point... :-) Happy Climbing! Dave

[@paddyoneill3243]

Nice climb chaps how's the abseil back off is there plenty of decent tat to clip or did you leave your own wasters?

[@corilia9529]

That thing looks awesome!

What an adventure!!

[@mmr040961]

RIP Tom. The finest of them all.

[@iplanes1]

Really nice to see climbers that are not hanging upside down on one finger. This sort of climbing really has very little to do with the cerebral ascetics who climb 9a+ with lots of bolts. Where you climb is at least as important as what you climb.

[@chaosengine4597]

"Where you climb..." Exactly. And ethical climbing is to stop as soon as you see the first wildlife you disturb with their offspring. No matter if it's falcons, eagles or "just" seagulls.

[@freesoul1825]

I see it more as mountaineering than as sport climbing, so the degree can also be defined as relatively high.

[@laughterman805]

Yet, in spite of that, my recommendation bar is filled with those ascetics, who, at the end of this video, will garner my attention

[@laughterman805]

chaosengine huh? why? Like, yeah, don’t want to disturb the 10th to last nest of condors but... any all wildlife? You know everything is going to burn when the sun blows up in a few billion years?right? Like yeah don’t want to make the earth a shithole(I know we pretty much are) I mean ideally)) but everything’s just not that precious. Unreasonable standards like yours only result in utter disregard(no that’s not quite the extent we’re at)

[@laughterman805]

chaosengine oh, you were joking huh? Ha! Good one

[@HealingMushroom]

beautiful!

[@zone8848]

looks like a good place to perform a free solo.

[@boomafett]

no walk off

[@2660MHz]

relaxed climbing is the best climbing the journey is as much important as the arrival

[@richardhaszko1594]

Nice film. Did it in 1996 as one of our three stacks in three days. It was very scary as there was a howling gale.

[@ScoobieDee]

Brilliant

[@vashusan1984]

Man, I want to fly over, just for this route.

[@thomasosman1692]

Where is it just asking probably never want to climb it

Does anyone know the name of the song played during the credits? I can't find it anywhere!

[@drstrangelove85]

Super nice climbing . Thanks for uploading this! It's interesting to see that there are no regulations in place to protect the wildlife when they have hatchlings...

[@soupdujour4086]

Everyone, put on your takin'-off caps.

[@marshallmurphy3187]

great video wish it showed more technical trad placement.

[@a.m.9466]

Good climb guys, don't climb, but enjoy watching. Have you guys climbed the 'sea stack' at the Cliffs of Moher?

[@georgestone8099]

For real, though. Why not just shove a couple bolts at the top. Would be a lot less intrusive than all that shite up there.

[@Mike-oz4cv]

Two slings (the second is just there for redundancy) and maillons should be all that’s needed. I guess all the stuff accumulated over time with every rope team adding a new piece once the old ones looked dubious but still kept “just in case”.

[@vashusan1984]

@@Mike-oz4cv I think that is his point. It is just continuing to accumulate litter due to old slings not being safe, or presumed so. I see his point. Where I climb, the popular gear routes have the same problems at places. Trees/rocks littered with old gear.

[@qman1131]

The approach was a 9a+

[@alexandrepereira3902]

Cool

[@eyescreamcake]

4:17 reminds me of GIRP.

[@sugandanataatmaja3331]

Masya Allah Very nice place Safety First

[@bjaminbjamin]

Shit load of tat! Deserves a proper anchor. Great vid but epic moderate climb!

[@thomasolson2196]

how high is this route?

[@taratara1161]

Wow Climb..

[@edgeontap]

how was the return crossing?? Did you have to rush at all to beat the tide??

[@edgeontap]

also, this is just totally awesome! a perfect day of climbing in my opinion.

[@Balgore8]

It looked very easy, what is its difficulty?

[@markgregory5084]

3* VS in the description, but that exposure....

[@michaelscot4816]

For me the descent would be tougher. You are looking down the whole way. I want descent vids.

[@dying7121]

Are those white stuff seagull poop or chalk?

[@소녀를넘다]

picnic course......

Bit worried, second man on the string on Pitch 2 used his knee....naughty....but nice bit of climbing non-the-less.......

[@Marty00011]

what?

[@Mike-oz4cv]

Apparently British trad climbers are allowed to use their knees. At least Matt Groom from Epic TV said so once.

Boo-kale? You really need to practice your pronunciation. The video itself is very very enjoyable.Well done.

[@neilfromcork]

Nice! But I think you did a far better job of climbing it than pronouncing it. 😁

[@mareequinn5911]

[@Gwynypig]

They really should just bolt it, it'd be a improvement to the visual impact of that rats nest.

[@martinbarnett4210]

Gwyn Higgins You are I hope joking if not you do not understand Trad climbing.

[@MrAgarnham]

Agreed to some extent, its an absolute mess and actually very visible from afar.

[@Gwynypig]

@@MrAgarnham I get the argument to leave the rock as it is. But if you're going to leave shit up there permanently, just put some bolts in. Looks a lot cleaner

[@Gwynypig]

@@martinbarnett4210 I am a young Trad Climber in the US, so the ethics I see at my crags are probably different than what you are used to. I am just expressing my opinion about the visual impact of all that rope.

[@martinbarnett4210]

Gwyn Higgins Sure I see your point about the visual impact. Someone does really need to ascend the route and junk all the old ‘tat’ as I call it and reinstate a new abseil sling or two and new carabiner to keep it trad, there is no need for a bolt then. If I lived closer to it I would do that but I live 500 miles away.

[@0fflineXD]

Sadly you did not care about the wildlife, birds nets and newborns... dislike, good climbing tho, would love to climb there if it was out of season for the birds!

[@100.-.clim_bing]

Agreed! No respect for the birds there

[@toomuch9762]

Why has it an irish name? And its proper pronunciation is (boo-col) not (boo kale)

[@alistairsmeaton440]

It has a Gaelic (Gaidhlig) name because it is of the coast of Sutherland.

[@toomuch9762]

alistair smeaton Gaelic is the irish word for irish

[@alistairsmeaton440]

@@toomuch9762 yes that is true. But the related language spoken in the north west of Scotland is also written Gaelic (in English) . In this context am buichaille is gaidhlig not Irish.

[@brettmeikle]

Do you know much about the history of Scotland and Ireland? Your pronounciation is closer than that butchered attempt by those English lads but you seem to have little grasp of where Gaelic (Gah-lic in Scotland, not Gay-lic as in Ireland) is spoken.

[@toomuch9762]

Pete is never wrong buachaille is irish for boy or herdsman, mór is irish for big or great! You do realise the irish brought the language to Scotland right?

[@chaosengine4597]

Oh my, this brings back memories of my West Highland Way + Cape Wrath Trail.... EDIT: Why did you keep climbing when there are birds nesting? Very rude and unethical. And stupid. And you call yourself mountaineers? Shame!
