- Back out in the Scottish highlands with my good friend Terry, took a day off work to scale this ridge and at some points i wish my gaffer hadn't given me the day off as i was climbing for my life while juggling with 2 cameras lol
RAW Footage in Scotland
Alec, you have a real talent for still photography. Thanks for showing us another Scottish explore
Thanks its appreciated
Alec you need a head camera. It’s too dangerous not to use both your hands. My palms are sweating and the heart is beating fast just watching you. I could never do this. It’s great that you are sharing your exploring with all your viewers all over the world. Awesime‼️Well Done Young Man.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks its appreciated
I was thinking the same thing. Even though it doesn't look like its needed, I think will wear my climbing helmet which has a gopro mount just to keep my hands free. That said, great job!
I’ve done it twice. No way I would do it with an expensive camera swinging all over the place. Too much of a distraction. Well done for holding that go pro. Think I would have put it away before the Pinnacles
Thank you for doing this video.
This was one awesome trip for you and your friend.
I enjoyed the beautiful hills of Scotland 🎶🎵🐦📽️
Thanks
I once did the ridge in winter, with 2 very experienced climbers, that was about 50 years ago, 68 now and this brings back a few sphincter tightening memories , much too old and sensible to even think about it now .
thanks for the vlog and stay safe.
Man I really, really appreciate this video. You worked hard to let us all be able to see the beauty of Scotland, not to mention risking your life.
Thanks its apricated

Alec,I watched this over 3 days due to working, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. You are so brave to have been filming while on such a dangerous stretch of mountains. The scenery is stunning and your photos too. Well done to the both of you . I admire your stamina. Also, that was some descent and so dangerous. Amazing video. Loved it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Evelyn its appreciated
Wow, great effort to film this. I was on the ridge in the late 80's, crossed at the second attempt, having by chance, met an experienced walker, just past Meall Dearg. There's no way I'll ever repeat it, my traverse was in thick clag, so that may have helped, not seeing the extent of the drops!
Much respect for you guys climbing all that for us. Thank you for all of your videos. 😊👍🤍
Thanks its appreciated 😊
Brilliant ridge 60m descent crazy pins .. glad i got it done .. pre saville scandal.. cottage sign in window ' its not worth breaking in theres nothing worth stealing' later we saw him in the kings house .someone says 'Sit downJimmy and have a drink, Jimmy Replies 'I cant afford to sit here and drink'.. Great Stuff Alec 😀💥
Why my ancestors left Scotland is beyond me. Such beautiful breathtaking scenery! I think you were a mountain goat in a previous life, lol. I’d be right there exploring with you two if I could. Heights don’t bother me whatsoever, but, what worries me is you doing all that climbing holding the go pro, now that’s some real talent Alec! Thank you for this, very enjoyable. 👍❤️😊😘
Thanks Chrissy im hoping to get another one done this year before the weather turns nasty
👍😊
As you said, "Amazing!" Love your picture of the mountain goats, 🐐 and the views.
Further in, I am impressed by the mountains and the shape you have to be in to attempt that climb. Thank you for filming this. You do go to great lengths for your viewers. Really, thank you.
Thanks its appreciated
Thank you for this realistic video showing every step of the way. So many videos make it look easy. Well done both of you.
I'm speechless. Alec, are you brave or daft?. That was so scary. The views were absolutely stunning. Please, please be careful. No more crazy hikes like this ok Alec? Just a reminder. I sorta laughed with you were serving down the hill. Whee! Thanks so much for this. Cheers and take care.
haha Thanks Claire more to come where that came from :p
Now, this is up there with the best ever. Thanks for your hard work to illuminate the beauty of Scotland around the world. FFS! If we're not worrying about you falling through a floor, now it's if you fall of off a mountain! Top filming again,
Cheers.
Thanks John
Have done this wonderful walk. Claichain Inn pint was heaven.
Just amazing my favourite place on earth but broken hearted I can't do that anymore coz of copd so thanks for taking me back alec
aww sorry to hear that and thanks for watching
Wow brilliant video, nerves are shredded after watching it. Deserves a bigger audience
I bet Chanel 5. Netflix, will be calling you after this,
Like Joe Wicks
U too deserve an Award for keeping us entertained, motivated, mentally and emotionally stable, given us much more than you can imagine, taking our minds away from all this madness
To a whole new explore off self explanatory and creative imagination wish I could explain better alot u carnt it's magical vibe comes fm within knowing what you connect to
Thank you for all you give us X
Edge of my seat start to finish! I think I just aged 10years! Do me a favour and get a head cam! Well done though, great to see the ridge in all its glory!
Thanks for watching, i actually had a headband in my backpack i never used it though lol
@@ExploringwithAlec very brave!
I've seen plenty of Anonach Eagach ridge videos over the years.
This clearly was the directors cut, extended version with extra SCARY as F bits added in.
Ooft Alec.
Those shots had me in a still magical place sharing a moment with mother earth mountain spirits, and ancestral pastures just so incredibly mystic 🐋
Climbing with one hand on the camera stick. Amazing! A helmet camera, might be a good option for that climb. You could make and sell calendars, just from the beautiful Scotland scenery. Another great video.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful scenery. I had a difficult time watching this .Bad fear of heights, mountains etc. lol. There was a couple of times your face looked very pale, and the look on your face was" whose big fat idea was it to do this?"
' Thank you for sharing this video
haha sounds about right
Congratulations Alec and Terry, that was amazing! At times I felt nauseous watching the shear steepness and uncertainty of the rocks , you were both challenged at times but never failed to rise to the challenge. You were both amazing I loved it ! So envious you must be dam fit that’s all I can say ! And you did that Alec all just with one hand, the views were stunning thank you so much for taking me on your journey! Great stuff keep it coming 👏👏👏👏
Thanks its appreciated 😊
I've been past this place, Ben Nevis, on a bus tour from Edinburgh to Loch Ness, but I didn't get a view like what's shown here!! Wow, oh and I knew you were a mountaineer btw, seems to be a popular hobby for Scottish Lads and lasses! Time well spent, I say, communing with the outdoors always does one good.
Excellent pics, this is a great wee video Alec. Cheers from Oregon USA
What a film big man! That scree descent looked mental that is the first time ive seen footage of it on YT heard about it but never seen it. Brilliant ma man, peter :) PS Get a pizza alright an maybe 20 beers to go with it lol!
😂😂💪👍
Wow, the views are stunning 😍! And you did it all one handed, 😨 there were a few times I was so worried, nearly forgot to breath. Loved the mountain goats and how you became one too! 😄🐐 You did an amazing job takin us on this hike!
Thanks its appreciated 😊
🤣 This is 100% Fear Factor Scottish Style. You got this Alec..and we appreciate you 24/7 for the entertainment you have given us.
Thank you Alec and your dangerous ways. 32:28 Nice shot.
🤣 LMAO Use those buns...You might gave to sleep on your side tonight! 😂 Time for a beer...or a shot of Brandy after this. 😁👍🏻🍺🥃
Just!.. wowzaaa.
Technically challenging to say the least but wow those views are incredible ! Nerves of steal & balance of a mountain goat 😆 🤣 well done guys & thanks a million for sharing this mountain hike 😃
Thanks for watching
Crazy doing this one handed!!!....Stunning!!!!
Bear Grill was really left on the chat🤗🤭.
Very tense!!..
Alex, I am in awe of the raw beauty of this video. It makes me, and I suppose many other people, who have loved to of taken this beautiful adventure with you. The beauty, the rawness the awe of the Scotland. Have been to England, but I know where my next adventure will take me. Thank you so much for this Alex
Thanks for watching hope you make it to Scotland
Yeah that was excellent
Aye! You live in an amazing part of the world. Really appreciate you sharing it with us.
~ Cheers from the SE, US!
Thanks Kelly x
That was crazy watching you come down, kept tilting my phone like that was going to help. Glad you made it
lol
Your nuts. I was having a panic attack just watching. Thanks for the great views.
Thanks for sharing your amazing trip & such a beautiful day you had. At what point did you tell Terry about the breeze block you snuck into his backpack? ;-) Cheers to ya boss!
Wow my kind of place x
My stomach is full of butterflies, I almost couldn't watch. How about doing something in the low lands HA! I was so afraid you would fall, I have to keep turning my head away. Loved the mountain goats, I am surprised you were able to get that close.
Yeah same i thought they would of ran off but they weren't too bothered i was there
Omfg you two are absolutely off your heads , so dangerous! My stomach was doing summersaults &felt sick 🤢 well done guys it was incredible &very brave the views are out of this world ! Thank you for sharing this experience well done 👍
Thanks 🤣
@@ExploringwithAlec your welcome 🙏
I'm an experienced Munro-ist, but fairly safe to say that I would fill ma breeks doing the Aonach Eagach, so Im going to have to climb the 2 individually from the north
What a wonderful playground we play in thanks Alex beautiful
Sorry Alec
Spectacular views! Glad you guys made it down safely.
Really beautiful Alec. You could sell signed photos if this gorgeous mountain top to help fund more exploring trips. Just awesome. It almost looks fake it’s so breath taking. It was pure joy to watch. Thank you so much. We💗love you in Houston, Texas in the United States. Great Job👍🏻
Hi Texas!! I love Houston 💘 love from Scotland xx
Thanks Roberta its appreciated
It's been a long time waiting for the video from Alec with a long duration, and it finally arrives. I really enjoyed it. thank you
Thanks
Hello Alec, excellent video and excellent climbers especially you carrying the cameras. Success .😉🐐👍.. greetings from Venezuela
Thank you
Brilliant video, especially holding a video. Congratulations to both. I bet your legs were like rubber by the end, and your brain running a wee bit slow.
" Snow " you asked at one point. Yes - Jan 1962 ( and we had proper Winters then ) - two of us with no Winter equipment, we should not have been there. We must have been daft. And I don't suppose that we had 8 hours daylight.
Occasionally over the years I have driven slowly down the glen, wondering how I ever got up there, and been annoyed by convoys of motorcycles, like the one you can hear at 1hr 24min.They don't know what they are missing.
I don't know if scree running is/was officially banned, but it was discouraged at one time.
I am not afraid of heights but watching y'all would almost make me.
Cheers for the shout out, I have broken pelvis at the base where the 2 half’s join , well mine isn’t joined now and there is now 8mm gap , this video gave me butterflies all the way
No worries mate hope your on the mend, stay away from high powered skateboards, I've seen you go on that thing and its rapid god knows what you put in it, rocket fuel? lol
What a beautiful landscape😍
That voice tho. That accent. 😍😍😍‼️‼️‼️
Not stalking you but I clicked on your channel and it shows all your comments and I'm telling you I have a better accent if you just give me an email or phone number you can hear me talking princess. I've got more money and time than I can ever spend on myself and I'd be be honored if you would accept my invitation for a date with me! You are stunning gal. Shiny dime baby.
Your beauty is paramount. Natural. I'll be able to die a happy and full hearted man if you say yes.
@@yourdreamscumtru3206 who are you????? Creep.
Great explore Alec, but i think you would be much safer climbing in Windows 👍
Think your right Ian lol
Amazing, I'll give this one a go next year. Only started Munro climbing a few months ago and done 20 so far
That's good going well done
@@ExploringwithAlec cheers Alec!
Hi Alec! I hope u & up friend r ok.thats a hard tough hike especially with 2 cameras.the last part i was getting extremely worried because those tiny bits of rocks seem to so slippery & scary.thanks for the exciting & beautiful video 🙂
All good thanks for watching
Good grief, my man. Please dont be quite so adventurous. I am afraid of heights so this gave me a royal headache. You are one fearless man.
Wish i had my health id love to b up there
Great video, beautiful scenery . Doing the climb mostly with one hand free must've made it more difficult though. Kept thinking "He's nae wise " !
It sure did thanks for watching
Hello beautiful and hard hiking !! thank you !
You are crazy! Don't. Do. That. Again. Watching that was scarier than a horror movie. There were parts that I couldn't even watch. Glad you are safe.
Nice 👍🙂
Eek, what a palm sweater. Beaut scenery from the top. I can't stand heights, so it was better to watch someone else do the hard work. Great video and glad you got back down safely.
Thanks
Oh my God...that was so uncomfortable. I gad to stop the video 3x to go pee. Thanks for a nerve racking experience.
👌😂
this video was beautiful and scarie on the same time❤
Try being up there lol
Alec my man I salute you! I must say though that I was scared the whole video!
Thanks Beth
Doin this during the week mate thanks for showing the way down and way back to the car, if the small car park area is full any suggestions where I could park? Cheers mate class video
Get there early and you should be okay or maybe park at the 3 sisters car park
@@ExploringwithAlec cheers mate how long did it take u from leaving the car to getting back to it? Class video btw

His friend is my wee brother and he is fearless 🤣🤣 xx
haha
How do you edit your videos please with using the go pro...for such a long period of time
I use video editing software on the PC,
English subtitles would help! - although the images are utterly spectacular.
That was amazing.
Thanks
Youve got bottle lads
Alec, beautiful, beautiful the Scottish canyon! I want to give a suggestion for open fields: make video with the camera attached to the cap. It will be excellent. And, if it's really ok, post it! I want to see the 'world' from the perspective of your eyes! 🌷😘😘
Don't you mean my baldy napper? lol
Wowww, I like your 'bald' ♥ ️😁 don't worry !!! In fact, you are a very beautiful person in the video! 😏
@@m.marie.brazil lol thanks
Again Alec ahowing no fear, look at that drop folks. OH CRAP! LOOK AT THAT DROP!! ALEC you are the Master of Heights! 🧗🏼♀️ This is one magnificent view Alec, but please be careful...Hey we got goats! 🐐🐐
7:24 What a view! 🏞 Amazingly beautiful, wow. Now I understand why windows and roof tops are no problem for you. This is dangerously frightening and nice. There is no part of going down, looking any easier.
Maybe next time, mount the camera on your head. 🤣 "This shit, just woke Alec up." I hope and pray you don't fall, I want to see more of you exploring. 😣 Definitely no more Rock Climbing for Alec.
haha thanks
Looks like a location from the 1930s. Hitchcock 39 steps
Mas que visão espetacular
I did this track in a wheelchair back in 2010 and it really was a piece of cake........................
@Robert Scott lol
any spiders up there Alec?
Thankfully not haha
Alec, that place is beautiful, but you pretty much have to be a mountain goat to climb those cliffs. Now I understand what they meant by 'craggy cliffs' in scotland! They were very craggy.
I kept expecting a abandoned castle or a mountain Cabin pop up.
Stunning views another great video please pass on my well wishes to Steven thank u
I will Lorna thanks for watching
@@ExploringwithAlec your welcome hope u got ur pizza
Hi Alec, wow the raw beauty, looks like a beautiful day, and thanks for doing this for us! I guess you couldn't ride a horse up there🐎 Being at such high elevation , was it hard to breathe?
No breathing was good thanks for watching
You are crazy😮😮
lol
I’m scared watching this
