Simond Makalu 2: A Frosty Adventure | Winter Summit Camping on Beinn Challium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- What can I say? A winter summit camp, no wind, no clouds, a new tent! How much better can it get?
On this adventure I take in Beinn challium / Ben Challum in the Crainlarich hills. The hike up was tough due to a cold and then the sun went down so it required pitching up in the dark.
Setting up the Simond Makalu 2 for the first time in the dark was a challenge but I got there in the end. Was ever hopeful of a good sunrise but what I got was something special.
Captured using the dji mini 3 and the insta360 rs one, I hope you love the morning footage showing an amazing array of colours and a stunning cloud inversion.
After hitting the summit, it was time to come down and get all packed away.
Another adventure was ready to be over for the day. Winter camping is challenging but with the right kit it is an experience that will live long.

You could just step out onto it n n walk for miles n miles n miles. Incredible. Shared everywhere
Thank you 🙏. Definitely my favourite one to date. Next weeks one is pretty cool and given where it is I’m sure you’ll appreciate it too. Was just a stunning spell of weather that
Wow, Robert that was absolutely stunning. An amazing pitch for sure! And well done for making it whilst not being well, too. Respect, man👊. ATB Dave 🙏🏻
Cheers Dave. One of the rare nights and mornings with barely a breeze too. That bloody coughs been on me for weeks too. 😂
Wow superb video! What an amazing sunrise 🌅 🤩🙌
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed it
Excellent, love a snow camp👍🏴🏕👌
Cheers bud. Aye seen a fair few of yours. Think one of my favourites you did a year or so ago up at rannoch area
@@Moffatmountainadventures Yeah hit the hackpot that year for snow. Was up the same place last week in those storms, not much snow, but wild wind and rain, all good fun👍🏴🏕👌
@@Colinrussellscottishwildcamper aye seen your lost valley footage. Gutted your time off hit when that storm came in. Love a multi day camp out
Wow absolutely brilliant video Mate what a sunrise and Inversion...Drone shots where fantastic Epic!! your channel is getting some big views well done! Stay safe bud.
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Thank you Andy. First one I’d say I’ve really tried to put more faith in the drone like you do. Pulling it much further away and taking it well out of eye shot. That sunrise was something else. Really happy with how this videos gone so far, hopefully the subs pick up too but it was definitely a favourite of mine so far. Cheers bud. Looking forward to seeing your next ones soon
Great stuff Marra as ya know with the Drone the wind is the real nemesis get a day like this and it's an absolute pleasure flying...well done Bud 😊🙏
That was pretty special in the morning pal , the light was beautiful . Inversion wasn’t bad either 📷👍 you made me laugh about a bomb gan off in your tent , mine always looks like was has gone off inside 😂 fair play camping not feeling 100% well you sounded it lol atb Dave 🥶⛺️👍
Cheers Dave. Couldn’t have asked for a better morning. Perfect temperatures too. That bloody cough is still niggling at me but no chance was I missing out on that camp. Weathers just been too crappy lately.
Amazing Robert , amazing footage
Thank you Anne Marie 😊. Always wanted to get Ben Challum in winter conditions, chuffed with that one
What can I say Robert apart from this was out of this world. Firstly well done for venturing out given you had a rotten cold and sore throat. Secondly where you chose to pitch on what is called the south summit was sublime. Thirdly a great position after you checked all the relevant weather reports because to capture its neighbours Ben More and Stob Binnean on such a clear night and morning, that doesn't happen very often as those two are usually clagged in. Your new tent is a very close example to my winter choice, the Husky Extreme Fighter 3/4 from the Czech Republic again with the snow skirts. Another excellent video and a planning effort second to none mate. Keep up the great work bro.
Thank you Marcus. You’d had definitely loved that camp. Every forecast said the same so I just had to get up regardless of that cough. Yeah it is quite similar to the husky. That’ll be an idea one for you to use on a summit I’d say. Hopefully we’ll get out pretty soon
Superb 👌 my favorite video you've done yet 👍. Tent looks great and should take a good beating . Love decathlon stuff have a few things from there. Just got myself a bigger backpack for my winter camps from them and its up there with the bigger brands but less and half the price than some. Ye those conditions were to good tp pass👌. Building a snow mam sounds a good idea will need to remember that if i get back out in the white stuff again this year. 😄
Cheers Steven. Easily my favourite camp for some time. Only bug was that cough but no chance could I miss the opportunity to get out. Couldn’t remember the last time I seen a summit forecast with winds under 5mph. I love decathlon gear. I’ve got way more expensive kit from other brands that haven’t performed as well. I built one last year up loch skeen and for a week all I kept seeing was folk taking selfies with my snowman and posting it on Facebook groups. Gave me a proper laugh that.
Wow, what a fantastic video Robert👍☃️🏔 well worth the effort even tho you weren’t feeling 100%. That sunrise was something else and the drone footage was just brilliant.
I really enjoyed that👍

@@hikingwithfrank315 cheers frank. It was rare week we had when the wind went, no clouds too, just couldn’t pass it by over a cough. Appreciate that thank you 🙏
Great video Robert. That was a stunning sunrise to wake up to, and I do like that wee red tent ⛺️
It’s like a wee tank. Didn’t move an inch all night. Yeah I loved that sunrise. Easily my favourite one to date
Amazing scenery, tent looks nice, shame it’s relatively heavy.
At 3kg it is my heaviest tent however for summit camping in winter most 4 season tents aren’t much lighter than maybe 2.5kg. The views were something else.
@@Moffatmountainadventures yeah I’ve been looking for a freestanding mountaineering type tent, there are some much lighter ones but they’re all a bit short, 200cm ish. Lovely video mate, subbed.
@@RogerByrne thank you 🙏. Hope you find one that suits what your after
Just got this tent this weekend, cannot wait to hit the summits in it, how was the condensation?
Used it twice and so far I’ve had none. Took that bivy bag just in case. Must have just been 2 low humidity nights as I’m expecting it to be bad. Definitely won’t be using too much in the summer
