    Thank you for bringing the Ben into our lonely living rooms Dave.
    Means a lot to me.

    "Looks steeper when you're on the face"...
    Scared the crap out of me and that was on the easier 3.
    Loved the sight of man walking on knuckles,then bent in half, then...upright with no assistance.
    Great filming and editing Dave...well done !

    Great video. Just what we all need to keep our minds open and a reason to use these times to train.

    Going for my first trip back up that end for a couple of years, hoping to hit Ice factor up and cut about the mamores for a couple of days. Then a wee trip up the Ben.

    Great videos! I'd be interested to see a video on transferring basic strength and energy system gains made during lockdown onto real rock and routes. How would you go about making that transition from home training to rock both mentally and physically?

    So this is how Ben Nevis really looks like, all this - storms and strong winds is just a myth :D

    Great video! What do you mount the GoPro on when you do the handheld clips? It looks really smooth. I'll be on my hangboard waiting for an answer now I've got a motivation kick! Take care, stay safe.

    Great drone shots! Great route and ice axing... I miss it so much. :D Is it a Gopro on your helmet Dave?

    Wow I loved your drone footage and the voice over. I need to apply that to some of my footage. I just published a video this morning. Great content, you earned a subscription!

    Is that the Kinesis jacket that you are wearing?

    • @climbermacleod
      @climbermacleod 4 года назад +4

      Yep. I basically live in it for winter bouldering, winter climbing and summer mountain trad. Warm but ridiculously light which is the number one concern for me.
