    Lots of endurance required for this this one, you guys are clearly experienced. But even I would give it a shot to see those beautiful views! 🤩 it’s an honor to be featured with such a great film

      Your music is a real emotive force in the film Ethan , it activates a inspiration to climb ..
      This imagination of climbing is like a seed . . Thank you for making such wonderfully interesting music . .
      Thansk for sharing it with me and others...
      Regards

      This was for Joe , same with lug last week .27 degrees yesterday was tough going up there
      We could have been there earlier if it wasn't for the five hours driving . .😂😂
      Thanks for your support Andrew

    This was a round trip of seven hours with 5 hours moving and 800kilometers driving .
    Making an 18 hour day .
    I hope you enjoy ❤

      Indeed it is ten miles of endurance . .
      The concentration is the fun challenge on this one . Trying not to fall over when everything wants you to fall over .
      A climb without injury is the best climb of all .

      These two hills have been on the cards for too long ,between injuries and fitness and excuses they were left undone last year ..
      They have been haunting my well being . . So in a way the night mare is over .
      The view though, was worth all the hardship , all the toil , all the time . .
      . Hope you are well brother . Thanks

    What a hike, that's not child's play for sure and the view from the top is amazing !

    • @lifesahobby
      @lifesahobby  Год назад +1

      It is a difficult climb in good or bad weather .. it's often you will encounter someone really struggling or brought to tears by the distance or by one false move .
      I've seen rocks tumbling down the hill with people Dodging them by inches .. so care must be taken while one advances 20 steps and you wait and watch the ground .
      Even picking out a trail to proceed is tiring . I'm just very glad we both came out of it with tiredness .

Well worth the effort for those view, be a great place for a wild camp overnighter, or even a hike to another one of the peaks there and camp again. Reading the description, sorry to hear about your friend Jim and I'm sure he'll be glad you conquered the hight mountain in Ireland. Well done. Happy hiking!

      It's not possible to convey the size with just 2 dimensions .
      Nor the efforts involved in staying safe . 100 percent effort for this mission . But such satisfaction to tick the box that has for a year now remained a box .

    Well done & nicely filmed once more. And great choice of boots. Thanks for this, great memories for me, I was there (my one visit to Ireland) in 2011. You make me realise I should visit again. And.... I am a calf enthusiast 😂

    • @lifesahobby
      @lifesahobby  Год назад

      These are my second pair of the same boot . . I find them excellent .
      Traction control .
      The film had to get done , it's as if the world itself made it happen . .
      When I got home 19 hours after setting out I found it difficult to hear conversations . Total limits . . Not sure if I'd do this one again . It'll be a different route and an overnight camp .
      The logistics of organisation with two adults is a kin to landing man on the moon , so it was done in one day .
      Glad the footage came out clear ..
      I still feel bad about your camera's you lost on your mission

    Awesome video bud. The ladder looks so different. The music at the beginning brings such an eerie dimension to it.
    The photographic views at the top were so colourful.
    I had hoped to revisit there tomorrow. But work is mounting up. Pun seriously intended. LOL and not sure if I am recovered enough from the week just gone. Lug and Galtee, mainly the six hours on Galtee.

      I could feel the effects of lug up there yesterday.

      @@lifesahobby That us an excellent suggestion. I was down there last year on the hottest day. And a head start on the sun would be the best way to go.
      I usually do it in five and a half hours. But that day took eleven hours. I was with another guy. But there again, it was a day to remember. Burns on all. Shorts, T-shirt and very little else. I gathered up my bits on the way back. LOL.

      I'm just happy to be able to climb and inspire others to do the same .
      I think even without inspiring a climb changes me and changes those who encounter me .
      Missions like this improve my planning brain . . I think you gotta start somewhere with making films .
