THE DEATH RIDGE - THE AONACH EAGACH RIDGE.

Today I experienced the death ridge in the stunning Glen Coe.
It was an Amazing adventure but also probably the scariest thing I have ever done.

[@Sean-me4fv]

RIP to the three hikers who died there this week

[@exploringwithmikey]

RIP, condolences to there families

[@mozdickson]

Them mountains are like gigantic bones. The bones of the earth planet. Tough as nails. Thanks for climbing and showing it tae us

[@exploringwithmikey]

Your very welcome

[@geoffroberts201]

Did this in Winter in 1975 with half a dozen mates from Liverpool University mountaineering club. Covered in snow and ice the view on a crisp frozen morning was absolutely awesome. I remember it as fun but I was young and invincible. On the final descent, scree running like idiots, one lad found a long dead sheep by getting his whole leg stuck through the decayed carcass. Those were the days.

[@exploringwithmikey]

You are a brave man doing it in the snow & ice wow, I just about done it on a clear day haha

[@geoffroberts201]

We did have the full winter gear for the time. Ropes, crampons ice axes etc. Climbed up to the ridge day one and bivvied in the wind shadow of the ridge then did it next day. Sunrise was tremendous but none of us had cameras. The last and best winter stuff I ever did.

[@exploringwithmikey]

@@geoffroberts201 sounds fantastic mate

[@holyworrier]

What are the odds, eh?

[@peterlewis2255]

Done it in winter a couple of times back in the 1980s, witnessed an accident the second time, just on that first descent. Extraordinarily the victim's companions were able to flag down a passing SAR helicopter on a training mission. We watched them waving at the chopper, and thought "you'll be lucky" - and they were ! Instant casevac with no radio, no mobile phone in those days either. Would have been an hour + to get down to call out the regular MRT, and at least another 2 hours before they could get to scene, probably more. Definitely one of the oddest things I've seen on the hill.

It wasn't known as the death ridge when I did it, don't know why it's called that in this vid. It's long and committing as there's no way off until you get to the end. It's also a long walk off....good training for Alpine Hut walks.

I made the name up myself to stand out

[@indynoir2178]

There is a way off the ridge at Meall Dearg before you reach the crazy pinnacles. It's definitely not convenient as your car will be on the other side of the mountain, but this way is known as the "no drama" way to reach the ridge.

Have done this twice, both times solo in winter. First time in clag and rain with slushy snow, couldn't see a thing but knew to keep as close to crest as possible. Second time perfect winter conditions, covered in hard snow & ice, really enjoyable. Maybe it's more treacherous in summer?

Anyone can do the Aonach Eagach, its just a scramble in the summer, of course, in the winter, thats a seriouse matter. I did it about 25 years ago, with next to no experience and a pair of army boots, it was a great day and yes, if I had jumped off some of the drop offs, I would have died. Don't jump off any of the steep bits and it will be fine but make sure you do it on a clear day.

Very stark and imposing scenery, stunningly beautiful. Are these mountains above the tree line, either in terms of altitude or latitude or were logged like most of Britain was?

The place is even more impressive in the flesh, & I’m not to sure about the tree line buddy, I don’t really delve into that kind of thing

The tops are above the tree line - mostly due to latitude and harsh Atlantic climate! Above 700 m is usually pretty bleak. The valleys have largely been cleared of trees and would have been much more densely forested back in the day

Aonach eagach a great day out, but some don't prepare for it properly. It's exposed with big drops and only East West exits only along the ridge. But saying that it's a great day out. The Chlachaig gully stay away from it's a bit unpleasant and the deer keds at the bottom are awful.

[@karenmoakes]

Fantastic video, Glencoe is one of our favourite places to go. I must say you don't need to mention / highlight that vile excuse for a human in this beautiful video. The cottage has been there for a couple of hundred years only to be tarnished by him. This is why it keeps getting vandalised, because of his connection to it. The cottage was there way before him. People need to stop publicising that he was ever there. More history to the cottage than just him.

[@jeremydyke7595]

Very well, thanks. We had an instructor who was always within eyesight, who watched over the difficulties, and bailed off the ridge at the one exit possible, leaving us to descend at the Pap, where transport was waiting. It was not so well trodden in those days, but overall a memorable experience! As, I must say, was the rest of the course, including Sailing Canoeing, Forestry, and physical effort. My whole life so far has been influenced by what I absorbed over that two weeks. I was an Outward Bound Instructor, and have introduced many bods into climbing and hillwalking.@@exploringwithmikey

Its not really comparing like for like. The Matterhorn summit is a mountaineering route usually attempted by experienced climbers. The Aonach Eagach is a scramble that doesn't require ropes in the summer and is doable for hillwalkers with a good head for heights. But the risk of a slip in the wrong place is very real, people die either on the ridge or the descent most years. You can bike bits of it, a couple of my mates did a few years ago but again you need to be well within your comfort zone to attempt the exposed sections carrying a mountain bike!
