Aonach Eagach The Narrowest Ridge on Mainland Britain Via The Chancellor

This scramble across the Aonach Eagach had been on my radar for a few years.
This is a long video, but its to show the trickier parts for those wishing to attempt it
Many thanks to Alistair Thow for taking the time to show me the way across.
Hope you enjoy and if you do please consider liking & subscribing

Great video and cinematography! Just one thing to be aware of is that the wide angle lenses on these cameras make the ridges appear more exposed than they really are (although the exposure IS real) The ridge is not a problem in dry conditions and if you are a reasonably experienced walker you should be fine. You still need to take it seriously though as it will find you out if you have a real fear of heights.
