Getting to The Top of The Most Photographed Mountain in Scotland!

Become a SteveMarsh Supporter at:
/ stevemarsh
Glencoe is a playground for hiking, climbing and everything outdoors. It's also home to Scotland's most photographed mountain - Buachaille Etive Mòr or just 'The Buachaille' as it's more affectionately known.
Today, we will walk and scramble our way up to its summit at Stob Dearg, and show you what the view is like from the top, with Rannoch Moor stretching out as far as the eye can see below.
Stob Dearg is classified as a Munro - Scottish mountains with a height of over 3000ft. It's a serious hike to get to the top and in our opinion shouldn't be attempted without some experience and a good pair of boots. We certainly learned some lessons today on how the weather can change a mountain from a fairly benign experience to a mighty dangerous place!
I hope this video gives you a good impression of how it is to hike to the top of such an iconic mountain, and then get back down again!

That was just amazing! The two of you are such an inspiration. So good to watch from the warmth and comfort of my living room. Not to forget that after all the effort and danger of the climb, you come home and prepare the video for us so we can share your experience. Thanks so much Steve, absolutely loved every minute. Please keep doing it!

That brings back memories of when my legs were younger. I remember kicking steps all the way up that Corrie when it was full of snow. I remember, just before we got to the top four mad Scotsmen jumped of the top and slid all the way to the bottom. Happy days. Mike in Sheffield

[@steve-marsh]

Your videos are delightful and I am loving them. I live in Victoria, Australia and am now in my 80's, love to travel but have never been to the UK and never will now. Your videos take me away to Scotland, to beautiful islands and all sorts of adventures like this exciting one. Your trips are a wonderful relief after the concerns of the virus and the jab and I turn to them when I've had enough of the serious stuff. Thank you so much Steve, I hope you continue to take your trips and take us along with you.

Cheers! Amazing how quickly the weather can roll in eh? and you really see it in action on that ridge!

[@GalwayGirl1]

Hello Steve. You both have my full respect. I know from my own experience how strenuous an ascent on wet rock and scree is. And you still film your tour and explain everything. The descent was a bit dangerous, but you mastered it very well. You have to think about every step. The view was breathtaking and absolutely worth the effort. The video was brilliant, I held my breath until you passed the slippery spots. Thank you so much. 💪👍 P.S. You can't look really grumpy, your mischievous gleam always peaks out of your eyes 😉

[@bernicebest]

I haven’t watched this yet but I see what you mean, I will make the ascent tomorrow, when I have more energy, thanks for the reminder 👍

Life is sometimes so unfair Steve, but I bet your lovely girlfriend gave you a big hug 🤗 at least!

[@beachspirit2455]

Holy crap Steve and Alijca I am just glad you escaped that with no broken bones. I have been so impressed with your teamwork, persistence, spontaneity and general good nature through about 50 videos so far. I started with the trip to Cumbrae Island because it was just nostalgic. I was there this past April. I did my first solo international trip with three weeks in Scotland and Ireland. Like you it was mostly walk, bus, train, ferry and a hop back to Dublin from Glasgow via Aer Lingus. I live in Oregon so the weather was actually better than here for most of my trip. I stayed in a lovely Airbnb 1880's cottage that was built for the navies building the railroad in Largs. One of only three left standing. Then I day tripped out of Largs using ScotRail - which by the way is miles better than any Amtrak I travel here - they would win the dirty windows contest for sure. Thank you for all the adventures so far.

[@zweispurmopped]

*The Highlander Theory:* The higher the land in Scotland gets, the more quadruped-style the mode of moving becomes. I conclude: Highlanders are quadrupeds. Help my erse, what a magnificent landscape. Glad you two made it back down safely. It looked a wee bit scary at times.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha top comment, cheers :D It was wayyy too scary for us!

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

That was a very gutsy effort by both of you to reach the summit of 'The Buachaille'. The descent looked really scary and it must have tested your physical skills as well as trying to keep panic at bay. Youse looked knackered at the end but you must have felt great inside !? Thanks for a great vid.

[@steve-marsh]

It was a great day Thomas, but some hairy moments for sure and we were right on the edge of our capabilities! Totally knackered at the end and our reward was a 3 hour drive home :)

Congratulations on surviving that! That reminds me of many similar hikes in the Canadian Rockies. Now, at the ripe old age of 56, I look back and cringe at some of the risks I took. You probably will too :D

Yes Robert - we have hiking poles, but they weren't ideal for this one - they were a great investment though !

[@Michael-wr1yy]

Again a real sense of being there and making the viewer aware of the precariousness of climbing with factoring in the weather so i think you both did well whilst filming. I was amazed at the time it takes 6hours that was another eye opener. Great views and i bet a real sense of achievement. Almost jealous.

Well, I'll have to check my blood pressure after that trek. You had us very nervous indeed. I exclaimed at one point, " Hell no, that's not happening!" I enjoyed your adventure though very much, but I was waiting for the point in the video when the rescue helicopter came. I'm afraid Brent and I would have made it to the house and then called it a day! lol As always, it's hit or miss with Scotland's weather. Just glad you made it back in one piece. I request only sunny climbs in the future please. ;) You don't want your viewers to have heart palpitations. Oh, and just so you know, Islanders here, as they're called, say "slippy" also. When we moved here in 2007 we'd never heard that until we started watching Scottish and British You tube videos. Must be a part of Scotland that their ancestors brought with them. :)

I love how little words and phrases make it around the world :) Looking back, we were so naive on this hike and I think we possibly even got 'lucky' with the weather it really could have closed in on us.

Cheers Leon :) We had a wee escape route planned if it all got too much, but it sure was a challenge!

Amazing beauty but scary too…I really enjoyed watching the two of you as I realized that I’m probably not up for such a climb. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth…. I think I’ll stick to Arthur’s Seat 🤦‍♀️🤣🙋‍♀️

[@steve-marsh]

We realised we’re not really up to the climb too 😂

[@esvarwyn]

I also wonder how long rocks have been there, my wife thinks I'm strange, nice to know I'm not alone🤣 Well done, especially in that rain, Etive Mor is well worth the climb though.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha I know the feeling Bryan! Cheers!

Steve your videos are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your endeavours. I am slowing going through your uploads and you really do a great job of presenting Scotland in all it's beauty and honesty. I am an Englishman presently living in Australia - miles away from the British Isles and seeing your clips is really pleasant and fun. Great work from the both of you. Cheers,

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for the support Ric! Really appreciate views, especially from the other side of the globe in wonderful Australia! :)

Great video Steve. Such a climb and descent (always the hard part). K2 a doddle after this !! Should introduce us to the young lady. Don’t know her name and seems so nice. 🙋‍♂️👍

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Mike, K2 next week (on KZbin) :) Yeah, I really need to introduce Alicja next time!
