Only done the climb once in July '20. Up + down via ladder. I'm a reasonably fit 52, but found descent via ladder a challenge. Any recommendations? I want to do the climb again in the new year, as cloud was in at summit, zero vis. Any tips really appreciated.
Hey Brian! I have plenty of other routes here on my RUclips channel, my favourite would be 'the curved gully' which is a brilliant route if you don't have a fear of heights. Coming down the zigzags would be a safer option, which is just passed the devil's ladder coming back from the summit.
Hello buddy, Devils ladder is now as precarious as O Shea's due to so many people ascending the route. Scree is incredibly loose. I would now advise O Shea's for ascent and heavenly gates to descend. Regards 👍
Thanks
that was such a great climb!! x
Good job, awesome mountain ! im from Switzerland ^^
Thanks bro! You live in a beautiful country.
Switzerland is where I got my love of hiking from! Your country is beautiful.
Super movie. Regards Jarek

@@Fitnessfreakshowz I think this was the reason why Roman called your country HIBERNIA
Pity you got crap weather 🙁☘️
Didn't dampen the spirits bud 👍
You'd be nice to climb with.
Hey Grace, thank you! It's an amazing mountain to climb for sure. Hope you are keeping well 👍
