Traverse of the Highest Mountain in Glencoe
The early season conditions and weather in Scotland's Mountains continued to be excellent, so we headed to hike up a ridge I hadn't visited before an traversed the highest mountain in Argyll and Glencoe

Superb Murray n Gerry. Looks fantastic

[@sklunkersklunkersson8679]

Those opening & closing shots with the tight depth of field did not go unnoticed 😉 The little touches & thought you put into the camera work make all the difference 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Sklunker Sklunkersson thank you - the new lens has been noticed 😉

[@DevonFlair]

Could that weather have been any more magnificent for you both?! Just enough snow to make it exciting but with a view for miles in every direction. Stunning.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@OutandaboutwithSpencer]

Another cracking video..those views! 👍

[@rosschristie1]

Another brilliant video! I was in touch a while back in reference to the pronunciation and awareness of the meaning of the Gaelic hill names and have to say I'm really impressed with recent efforts! Means a lot to the Gaelic hillwalking community when someone as well known as yourself is taking the time to learn the meanings of our fantastic hills - An dòchas gum bi deagh gheamhradh beinne againn am bliadhna!

[@chrisp267]

Yes, absolutely brilliant!

[@ian082008]

Happy days always an inspiration

[@spektrum33]

It’s about a 2 hour drive for me to get to glen Coe .some great snowy views . Looked bloody cold 🥶

[@WalkWithWallace]

Oooft, nailed it. 👌🏼 That ridge leading up to the bad step looked a tad spicy with a dusting of snow. Loving Gerry's orange Paramo smock. 😁

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Walk With Wallace 👣 thanks Robin - think there are a few way up this step - but the turf was frozen so we went round and up some steep exposed ground - wouldn’t fancy it in manky conditions though 🥴😵 but fun was had ATB M

[@ScotlandsMountains]

PS I think it’s a buffalo smock ??? No idea if same thing TBH 😂😂

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@ScotlandsMountains hopefully winter delivers more days like that. 🤞🏼 Looks like the Paramo Velez Adventure Light smock. 🤔

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Great vid. Love the mix of methods you use....looking forward to winter again.....if we get one

[@ScotlandsMountains]

fingers crossed - its been a good summer (weather wise) so might mean a good cold hard winter :) fingers crossed !! Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@dpax100]

Fantastic views and weather, Murray.

[@GrahamWilliamson1985]

As usual excellent video Murray, out hiking in the snow here last weekend too, and hoping for many more this winter.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Martina O'Farrell absolutely- fingers crossed 🤞🏔🏔🏔🏔

[@keithroberts2656]

Sgreamhach was the final Munro of my round, completed on a summer's day in 2015. Lovely to re-visit in winter, courtesy of your video.

[@steffers178]

Beautiful! 😍 Absolutely perfect...Great share as always! ❤

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Miss. Steffer's thanks Steph - lots more vlogs en route :) 🏔🏔🏔

[@burghiker]

Great vlog Murray 👍 did Bidean nam Bian and Stob coire Sgreamhach a few weeks back but I came up from the lost valley and up the Bealach Dearg. This looks like a great route, can't wait to try it 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@jianzhang3393]

very good weather indeed, i did mount keen on Monday, the weather was exceptionally good. I did not bring any of my winter gears, since it was easy walk to the top. i just wish i bring with me a ski pad so that i could glide down from the hill top. xD

[@bak2earth666]

Hi Murray , excellent video as per usual , would have liked to attempted Bidean nam bian but now youve showed me this ,i think i will wait until spring or until the snows gone , dont want to end up another casualty i love your videos , and Scotland and try to get up there as often as i can the views are amazing !

[@olr1home]

Coming up to Scotland in December, just keep it looking like that!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Oliver Robinson fingers crossed as I have some adventure planned in the mountains the too 🤞🤞 Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@davidblair2874]

Ace Murray. Must be great having a buddy you can rely on. Being the Solo Summiteer I don’t have that luxury, so it sometimes restricts what I can do as I can’t afford to take risks on my own. Looking forward to getting up to Glen Coe sometime this winter and doing a bit of exploring 😎👍

[@klickinthewild]

Another cracking video Murray. I'm catching up on some of your videos after some trekking in Asia. I'm also glad you made it through the bad step without any 'bad stories' to take away from it ;) All the best!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Brian , hope you are enjoying the vlogs from way over in Asia:) P.S am also glad I came back without any bad stories !!; ;) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@BorderRambler]

Great stuff Murray , well above my capability so I will leave it to the pros like you to show us sitting back at home lol atb Dave

[@naepace]

What nugget keeps giving you the thumbs down ? There always seems to be one ! It's no me by the way lol Great stuff Murray, partial to a wee blue n orange combo myself !

[@ScotlandsMountains]

walknaepace might see me in that combo soon 🤔😂😂 colours were good !!

[@biggyjaay]

Love watching your videos I use to go to glen Coe quite a lot in my youth but haven't been since my mid 30s (I'm 49 now and I'm from south yorkshire) I camped quite a few times in the study in glen coe, I notice you visit the area quite a lot do any of your videos show that area I would love to see if its changed, started visiting after watching highlander in 1986, thanks for uploading the videos they are great

[@ScotlandsMountains]

jay matthews hi Jay - don’t think I have any footage of that I’m afraid - there is another vlog from Glencoe next week tho if that’s of interest 👍👍🏔🏔 Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Most enjoyable wee watch as normal. Off up there tonight, most definitely not going to get the weather you had though. Those kind of days out are, Diamond days out! :-) L&D

[@ScotlandsMountains]

On the Adventure Trails - Scotland hope you get similar weather folks 🏔👌. Enjoy 😊

[@JamesGoldenboy]

I camped on Beinn a'Chrulaiste last night, ended up raining through the night but what an experience!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

James Goldenboy its an amazing wild camping spot isn’t it 👌👌👌🏕🏕🏕🏕

[@JamesGoldenboy]

Scotland's Mountains Unbelievable! I only went there because of one of your previous videos.... However I think I picked the wrong route up as it turned into more of a mountain climb than a hill walk! 😂 anyways keep the videos coming!

[@gigantius2]

Love the videos, Murray! Keep up the good work. They're a great inspiration for someone getting into hiking and mountaineering! Can you recommend any good hikes for end of December? (Weather permitting of course)

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi James - very much appreciated :) in terms of recommendations , I would wait to see what the weather has in store nearer the time :) Walkhighlands is a superb resource for walk and getting ideas - from me any where outside usually does it :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ttxela]

Great video and sound quality, what camera/microphone do you use?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi - I have a gopro black 6 and also a rode videomicro on a sony A7, I sometimesalso use a lavell mic with a sony IC Recorderux560. Always far too much gear ;)!!! lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ttxela]

@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks, useful info, I'm still mainly on my phone, I bought an external mic but if anything it was worse 🤣

[@jeg569]

Fantastic video, looks like super 3D video quality, new camera or lens? Really enjoyed the crack between you both. One of your best yet again.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank Jeg, my Sony Nex finally gave up the ghost! hoping the next few vlogs are enjoyable too :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@Jb19738]

Top tip, never put your gloves (or other light gear) on the floor like that. Stuff it down your jacket otherwise, you might find that they end up being blown off the side of the mountain. Awesome video though

[@Stue007]

Awesome trips, maybe you could provide some tips concerning clothing for those adventures.

[@hamshanksproductions7161]

Great walk. Regards Barrie

[@savagefrieze4675]

Wonderful. My wife has lived in and traveled through UK and can’t understand you so I have to translate for her. She can’t understand me when I read “ode to a haggis” on burns night!🤣 And I’ve only visited once.😂 didn’t notice meanings of the peak names submitted in comment. Do you now know what they mean now and will you tell me please?

[@TonyCarrollPassion4Motorsport]

That Looked Pretty Challenging** Ouchhh I would Not venture If The weather was Any Different thats For sure ""RESPECT"" tc

[@brettmeikle]

Tell Gerry he needs to bone up on his trees, from a lad who used to live near Beith. It's birch, not beech. Lovely familiar ground and BNB was my first Munro back in 1987.

[@AlpinistGGerry]

brett m Gerry stands corrected. Thank you for your wisdom. He lives in the birch. Enjoy Beith.

[@leesimpson1677]

These are strange looking poles you are using. The ones I use have standard handles on them. Are these poles which you have removed the grips from and taped them up?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Lee Simpson hi Lee - no just normal poles with the padding a little down the pole - these are fizan Everest poles 👍 Thanks for watching Murray
