@@MKRM27 Certainly for someone not used to climbing like this but based on the video and all her other videos of her doing the same thing she seems very capable and aware of her surroundings and the constant risks. Foolish would be copying her without the right prep and years of experience.

Respect! You captured brilliantly the exposure on Crib Goch - and to do it with a camera in your hand and then repeat sections. Just awesome.

I have to echo and agree with you comment. This was one of Abbie's finest films, from both a content and a production standpoint. Wow. I noticed also that she actually posted the camera and then WENT BACK to get the shot of her walking. That made my head spin.

Absolutely agree with you . There are no videos in here showing the steepness of Crib Goch like this. What a wonderful job ..

We are in awe of your strength, resilience, determination and attitude. Well done. We are an older couple from Australia who have walked 10 of your national trails, and climbed all the 2,000 ft and above in England and Wales - except Pillar Rock in the Lake District. That was beyond me. We are homing in on 70 years old, so have to be careful. I hate that this Covid virus has stopped our annual travel to the UK and beyond - but we must all be patient. You have allowed us to walk and climb with you. Thank you so much. You are fast becoming a 'legend'. Love from D &D , Victoria, Australia XX

Wow Abbie, that was incredible! Not just a brilliant Crib Goch film probably the best I've seen, but also a powerful and thought provoking mental health message too. You are amazing!

Doing that with someone else is one thing, but doing it alone in such harsh conditions is something truly special, you young lady are a true inspiration. Keep telling yourself exactly what you were saying up there “one breath & one step at a time” I had a tear in my eye when you were getting emotional. Lots of love The Shackletons. ❤️❤️

Have you walked it? It maybe foolish to you, but I admire her for doing it!!! It maybe not be up to everyones taste and certainly not mine, but you should not criticise and your comment " not special " is not very tactful is it? Each to their own.

Abbie, there are so many people who are incredibly talented, yet make nothing of it. They have become used to relying on their talents, which prevents them from ever accomplishing greatness. Only those who are willing to use their talents in order to pursue greatness will ever accomplish truly outstanding things in life. you have shown this in you ability and I for one salute you `Inspiring you are

How you manage to film while scrambling (with two cameras!) and deal with your head is incredible. I suffer from poor mental health also, and the mountains help me also, and I know what its like to turn around or never even leave the house because my head is bad. But when it goes right, it's a major win. Thank you. Never stop.

I've done Crib Goch a few times and have been finding it more and more sketchy as I've got older. Last time I definitely didn't get any points for style, winds were stronger than forecast! It's not a trivial undertaking at all and you've done fantastically well to film it as well as you have. Stay Strong and ATB.

Kudos for that walk - I was getting vertigo just watching the video! 👏👏👏

TY Abbie. I only go to places to hike after watching your videos as it helps me massively and does not leave things to surprise. Love that. Ade x

Mental health is something Ave struggled with my whole life your an inspiration

Watched this while on holiday in north wales last night and felt totally inspired by you. Decided to take on the Watkin Path - at the current limit for me as I’m terrified of heights. When I felt my nerve slipping I repeated some positive words to tell myself that I could do it, as I had seen you do. Honestly got me through it. Amazing day, thank you so much.

Abbie,can’t believe how amazing your experience was and how much bravado you showed tackling one of the toughest ridges in the country.I have been thinking of doing it over few last years but keep putting it off as it looks daunting to me.Your video has given me hope that one day I will be able to overcome it

At the end of the day we are all human with needs and fears. You are a rock and I think that's the first walk I have watched for quite a while (Ben Nevis via CMD!) Keep on doing what you are doing. All power to your elbow and know that there are so many people right behind you.

My hands were sweating watching this. Definitely a challenge for 2022

I couldn't even breathe watching the view. I kept telling ysrlf you must have made it to post the video. You are amazing.

I am so impressed with what you achieved this day both physically and mentally. I’ve seen a video made by someone else trekking Crib Goch on a clear, sunny day and the visible sheer drops are absolutely terrifying. I do suffer with vertigo but I know I could not have tackled that climb and you did it carrying a camera, awesome. Deep respect, you done well on all counts girl!

This is quite possibly the most powerful thing I have watched on KZread. Absolutely well done Abbie, and for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. From 17.30 onwards I was so in awe of you, and the choices you made that day. The analogy of Crib Goch with your mental health, struck home for+me. You are an inspiration, and a legend. Keep putting one foot in front of the other🤜

Hey! You did a great job of recording your hike along the ridge. Despite the mental and physical challenge the mountain presented, you took in the great scenery and landscapes, showcasing the ridges best features. I'm glad the cloud lifted for a short while. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey. I have to admit, I'm not brave enough to tackle Crib Goch, far too scary for me. Well done on overcoming the challenges that happened during the hike, you did so incredibly well. Your life does have worth, you are important and bring much joy to others through your videos. Looking forward to watching your future videos Abbie. Go well... xx

I can’t believe anyone attempts these climbs! This honestly made me feel sick and I had to look away several times! Congratulations!

That is somewhat terrifying. It's not just the voices in your head, it's legit to be fearful of a fall from that! Utter respect to you. Please next time stick your go pro on your head, or chest, or somewhere...anywhere! You inspire me Abbie, you are way stronger than you believe yourself to be x

Oh Abbie, you had my heart racing watching this video. I really have every respect and admiration for what you do, and share, but this climb to Crib Goch..... Well I can not find the words to express my feelings, Absolutely Incredible x

Oh Abby I was so emotional watching this. My heart felt everything for you. Thank you. I am so grateful for you. Your videos make me feel like I can conquer the demons inside my head and make something of myself. My scars do not define me. I am Jess and I know I can.

When I saw you going up there with the clouds ahead (no way!) and the camera and tripod (and stick!) in one hand, I said "no, no way!". Well done. It's on my bucket list of things I want to achieve. And I'm a *lot* older than you! Be well Abbie, I'm glad I found your channel. And yes, you *are* enough!

My friend took me up Snowden for the first time and it’s was amazing sight to see when I got to the top and I decided to go again with a another friend push myself to the limits. I’m doing this for myself and my dear brother who pass away he was so young who will never get a chance to do this himself. Just wanna say it’s was amazing video 🤗

Massive respect to you. I climbed it with my teenage son and 12 year old daughter last August, on a clear day with no wind. Watching you overcome each obstacle, physical and mental brings back lots of memories. We were able to support each other which is a big thing, whereas you had only yourself to rely on. 👍🏼

Thank you so much Abbie for inspiring me to get out in the wild and creating my own channel. Recording my ramblings has really helped me to explore both the stunning countryside that's on my doorstep, and my own thoughts and contemplations. I am physically and mentally stronger because of this. I am also less fixated on the destination, and more focused on the journey. Happy New Year!

One of your best, Abbie. I will be sharing with my kids. Stay well!

I had a baptism of fire when I first did it. strong winds, low cloud and rain. I just remember the clouds rolling over the ridge as we were clambering along. Spectacular and frightening at the same time.

Very inspiring video! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

What an inspiring woman you are Abbie!!!!! I'm just getting kit together to start getting back out on the hills and rediscover myself after suffering with mental issues for the last several years of trying to hide away from them. My happy place is sat on the summit of a big hill/mountain and I only realised this was the case a few weeks ago. Keep doing what your doing and maybe one day I'll bump into you on a slope somewhere and I can thank you in person.

wicked vid abbie, the only thing missing was you taking a bow at the end, head held high, conquering fears and i would imagine you beat some of your demons that day as well, reach for the skies girl, the hills are your oyster, true inspiration !!!! stay strong, beating crib goch in your mind is an achievement and a half, your stronger than you give yourself credit for

Abbie, having watched alot of Crib Goch vids, yours stand out leaps and bounds in every way! Really brilliantly captured, it really showed the route and difficulty in its true form. Your honest and moving and funny narrative while tackled this challenge was really engaging. Going back to the filming, man was my heart going watching you carry the camera while goat like picking your way throigh the really hard part! Thank you so much for taking us with you on this adventure. Your strength, bravery, talent and integrity shone throughout the video. Massive respect to you. Atb Vee

Well done Abbie. So proud of you.

Your a massive inspiration to me. Really appreciate your videos your courage and your honesty. Stay humble and keep up the good work.

Oh wow, some heart in the mouth moments there! I love how you use positive self-talk to get yourself back on track. You're an inspiration.

Great video Abbie, very inspirational.

Hi Abbie. I had previously watched some of this video before. I completed Crib Goch on Wednesday 17th Aug, 23. I was very scared and on my own. Although it was important that I took the decision to climb it by myself, I did take inspiration from you. I am a mental health nurse and fully appreciate the importance of looking after your mental health. I would be lying if I said it was enjoyable because it wasn't. Having said that, I was extremely satisfied with achievement. Thank you Abbie. Thank you for the inspiration.

Just to say a massive congratulations I've been watching ur channel for a long time u have come a massive way 😉 love ya ya keeping doing what u do xx

Hi Abbie, Honestly you are amazing, To climb such a dangerous mountain whilst suffering with mental health issues is a sign of a true warrior. My heart was in my mouth on numerous times whilst you was climbing. I kept shouting "Put your bloody camera away" lol. You are an inspiration to many for so many different reasons. It looked awe inspiring and scary at the same time. A brilliant video. New year blessings to you. x

Abbie you are awesome. Your virtually climbed that one handed. You’ve inspired me to start walking and hiking. I just need to get over/through the last stages of Covid. I’ve had anxiety etc through the years as well. I’ve climbed mental mountains, now it’s time to do the physical ones. Abbie you are a star, keep shining your light. Your the lighthouse that shows us the path. A true Pathfinder. Keep up the awesome work. Big hugs.

I did this thirty eight years ago with my twelve year old daughter, I will never forget that time with her? Brilliant video Abbie

Truly inspirational,all who watch this,will be moved by your honesty hard work and self belief,thanks for bringing us along,you've made a difference in my life x

Total respect for you young lady. Thoroughly enjoyed this journey with you both physically and mentally xxx

I admire your fortitude, the way you coaxed yourself through the tough sections. As in life we all have moments of doubt and question our worthiness. You have to start with belief in yourself, acceptance of who you are and not try to be a people pleaser. That’s not to say be selfish, one should be selfless. Your videos are honest, insightful and funny. Please give yourself a huge hug and pat on the back. Keep the content coming.

Excellent well done Abbie.

I love your confidence !! You are quite the inspiration. God bless your journey.

legend 😊 some great footage and words of wisdom. have a great new year 👍

Wow Abbie !!!!! Just Wow!! Well done

wow . I found so many amazing sentiments throughout this. and what an achievement - well done!
