Hey Stripey great vid and channel ! Do you think a dog could make it across ive for a collie looks doable from your vid I’d get a harness for her she’s pretty good on the steep bits ? My Grandad would often mention this route . I saw it from WHW looks impressive . Thanks bye

Wonderful video. I did this around 1982. I remember it as being the most exposed walk I have ever undertaken. A wonderful place. I love watching this video as I doubt I will ever repeat. The video brings back happy memories with good friends. Thank you.

Thank you very much Bernie! Yeah is such a beautiful outing, definitely up in my favourite 3 so far in Scotland - difficult to beat 😂. Great to hear that it brought back some happy memories ☺️ ATB Stripey

Trying to catch up with all your videos. This is the most terrifying, by far! I was so afraid for you😳Navigating such narrow and treacherous rocky ridges requires an agility and skill that, I dare say, most humans lack! Astounding video! Thank you, and I’m so glad you completed the adventure safely. 👍🏻

I’ve done the aonach eagach twice. The first time was in fog and we blasted over it, but the second time the exposire became apparent. We took it a lot slower then 😳 The prize is a couple of beers in the Clachaig afterwards. Great vid Stripey, thanks!

Thanks a lot mate! Really enjoyed this one 😊

Stripey Hat Guy, your video work [especially the drone footage] brings the Aonach Eagach to life! I walked the ridge many years ago in similar weather conditions and remember especially a Brocken Specter effect I witnessed--without getting a photo, since it was short-lived. Sun casts one's shadow onto the mist within a spectrum ring. I could watch my shadow's motion inside the rainbow ring. Then it was gone. Please review your footage, for at time 25:26 I believe the beginnings of the effect are evident. The sun is behind you and there is a circular glow [no spectrum that I could see] on the mist as your shadow leaves the ridge and climbs onto the cloud. It is there for less than a second, but is definitely visible.

An IMMENSE scramble, made to look ridiculously easy. Fantastic.

Simply Spectacular! I love all your vids but the scrambles have me on the edge of my seat! and a great sense of humour goes well with all your adventures.

Sorry, effect of Brocken Specter is more like 25:36--take a look!

Always exciting when the serious business plastic hat comes out. Looks like a lot of erosion at 10:25, makes us wonder how much of the mountain has slid down the side over the last century. Agree 100% on the crowds bit. Your rock scrambling is Legendary sir, we could watch this stuff for hours. Sunset and sunrise looked buts, bet is was even better in person. You're right, it doesn't get any better than that! Thank you so much for taking us along!

I went down the way basically where it joins the way up to the pap of glencoe - horrible way down so, a lot of big rocks...and it was like nearly 2.5hrs I believe from the 2nd Munro down and back to the car. To Glencoe Village I would recon around 1 hour or so, not sure where the pup is so.

This is fabulous, love to see the still photos you must have taken. I wish I had the head for exposure like that, I'd be up there with my camera every day.

Hi Dave! I can only talk for myself but I personally like the versatility much more without angebt floor. This particular tent I made myself for the Alps where I was usually sleeping on rocks, no tent floor likes that over a longer period of time. In Scotland I use one without a floor mainly to reduce weight of my pack, but it is boarder line as we have so many ticks. I have an inner tent for my duomid but try to use it only when necessary (e.g. critter time in the year). So in short: Tents with no floor are for me just lighter and more versatile 😎 Thanks a lot for watching- ATB Stripey

Loved watching this as I can’t do that sort of thing now. I did this for the first time in 1998 east to west and then in 2005 both ways in the same day. Surprised that you found the rock slippery but there has been quite a few years of erosion since I did it. I felt very confident on the rock both times. Mind you, I was only carrying a day pack. Look forward to watching others of yours.

people who put the effort in to seek out scotland deserve to be an adopted native scot..
