  • The Steepest Mountain in Scotland where the road ends
    On my first visit to Beinn Sgritheall my brother exclaimed that this was the steepest hill in Scotland. Given the fact we had spent the prior three days knocking off about 12 Munros, it was little wonder we felt that this mighty Munro above Arnisdale was the steepest we had hiked!
    Returning here ten years later I was looking forward to what has been described as the best view point from a Munro Summit....

    Keys left in the wrong car ... been there, done that! If only my mates were so 'understanding' :-) That looked like a proper day out ... sun, wind, rain, cloud, views and steep slopes galore, and all with the usual enthusiasm ... thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for this video. I have climbed all the Munros, but apart from avoiding cliffs, the steepest and longest climb that I recall is the north face of Beinn Dearg Mor, a Corbett, to the south of An Teallach. It was about 2500 feet really steep, my legs were screaming when finally the ground levelled off.

    We climbed it as a family back in the 80's and my mum nicknamed it 'Beinn Scream' because of how her knees and hips felt going down the steep slopes. I climbed it again a few years ago but only got a glimpse of the views for about a minute, then the clag came in, will need to give it another go. Thanks for the video!

    I am so glad I chanced upon your channel, you show the most beautiful parts of Scotland to those of us who otherwise would never see it, it’s difficult to believe it’s in Great Britain. I live in southern England so visits to such wonderful parts of Scotland for me will be something for my retirement years hopefully when I’ll have a little more time to explore the wonders of the great Scottish outdoors. For now I am just thoroughly enjoying watching you do it instead. I have certainly learned a few Scots words. I actually didn’t realise what a Corbett or a Munro was. You live and learn. Keep up the good work, love your accent, very soporific... Rich

    A group of us climbed this mountain in '69, '70 or it might have been '71. Easter time loads of snow from 1200ft. Took the easy route from the north. Temperature in the sun over 75F. Lunched on the summit when two golden eagles appeared just off the summit gliding in the thermals coming up the southside of the mountain. They would suddenly disappear swooping down into the valley of Loch Hourn only to reappear 10 minutes or so later coming back up in the thermals. I think we spent over an hour watching these majestic birds before setting off back down the mountain. On the way down we found a dead stag with antlers. They were removed with an ice-axe and I believe were displayed in the youth hostel at Rattigan. Best day I ever had on the mountains. I can agree from the top the views were magnificent, we were lucky on that day not a cloud in the sky. Have to say I don't fancy climbing this mountain from the south-side it does look very steep. Steepness isn't the issue it's the length looks a right ol' slog.

Other great days were spent on the Torridon ridge (3 or 4 Munros if I remember correctly), a very scary day on the Cuillin ridges (ice axes, crampons and rope) and the Five Sisters.

    I’ve only climbed the Argyll mountains. First one I ever climbed was Ben Lomond of course and then I climbed Ben Venue and then Ben Ann and then Ben Arthur (The cobbler) all these when I was 18-19 years old and I was on the teen challenge Haven program. Then we moved to Loch Goilhead in the heart of Argyll. Around our village we were surrounded by peaks Corbets, and I climbed nearly all of them and on my own. I only knew the names of two though. The one behind our home was called “The steeple” and I climbed this 1100 foot peak many many times. But my most favourite and beloved mountain in all Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and which has deep spiritual significance to me is called Beinn Bheula. Not the highest peak I’ve climbed and not easy to find a path but is well worth the climb. You can see the Clyde and Greenock in the distance. The peaks name means Black Castle 🏰 but the pronunciation is also a Hebrew word which means “My Land shall be Married” the first time I climbed this mountain was on my own and God spoke to me about my future wife on the top of this mountain and I didn’t know that was a Hebrew word at that time meaning Married. Obviously of course it wasn’t named with that in mind but by chance it is pronounced exactly as the Hebrew word is. You can find the word in the Book of Isaiah 62.

    Those with masochistic tendencies might choose to ascend Sgurr Fhuarain just 2 miles up Glen Sheil before the road starts climbing, just before you turned off for Ratagan. You'll climb a thousand meters in about a mile. Not sure why you'd want to!

If yes im sorry ive missed it..

    These are really well made, they seem like something that should be in the telly. Incidentally, from a technical point of view, do you carry a travel tripod to get the 'walking past' shots? Also, when you're doing the 'pieces to camera' is your GoPro on some sort of grip or selfie stick? Great video, I would love to walk this route. How long was it? It looked like a long way but you cracked it in 7hrs. Very steep, especially the 'hands and knees' bit. Keep up the good work and hopefully inspiring people to lace up their boots and take to the hills
