    I've done Stob Ghabhar and the ridge walk twice and it is great fun - highly recommended!
    Great vid as always.

    You never fail to bring us something new, James, with that lovely opening and the view of Lochs Ba and Laidon from a direction I've not seen before. Well done for beating those clouds to the second summit, too. I expect you were glad of the cooling drizzle on your descent, too!

    This looks like a very hard hike, James, thank you ever so much for sharing. A great joy to watch. Beautiful views across Ranoch Moor, in deed. Cheers, Martin

    Great video. I did these in very similar conditions a couple of years back and loved them. Except perhaps for the massive drop between the two! The view over Rannoch Moor gives them an essential feel. All the best Murdo

    A favourite outing...had dramatic spindrift up one side of that Aonach Eagach once. I think the 9 is well deserved. I live those mountains vicariously through your excellent films. Thank you.

    Nice video James, I climbed the Munro behind the climbing hut, my friends were total novice climbers so we didn't explore further, I hope to return to do you walk in Glen Etive! I slept in Bridge of Orchy rail station I think it is now a business, cheers Mark!

    You picked a great 2 munros to finish that area of James done them a few time and would definitely go back again the aonach eagach ridge is great even if its very short, always a great watch James . Atb Ally 👍👍

    Loved this particular walk as it put into perspective the ernormity of the Black Mount walk I did some years ago. The 'Clachlet Traverse', Four Munro's along with the Munro 'top'. The walk back to the Victoria Bridge car park was a bit of a killer though. Happy days and looking forward to your remaining Munro's, not far to go now James!!!

    • @ScottishMunroJourney

    Cracking video one of my favourite Munro’s there’s also a nice ridge leading to summit opposite side of the Corrie to your ascent route which is worth doing as there are vertical drops down into Corrie Ba cheers

    Wow..what a coincidence- just did this last week. Took us 10 hours to do the 4 Munros of the Blackmount traverse. Stayed at Kingshouse and cycled back on the West Highland way last Friday! One of the toughest days my wife and I have ever had on the hills.

      @@ScottishMunroJourney Climb up Clach Leathad is an absolute beast- no path. You go from below 800 metres to almost 1100m in a very short time. It actually looks impossible from a distance. Of course this is after you've already done 2 munros with big up and downs. Met a guy coming in the opposite direction (KIngshouse to Bridge of Orchy) and he assured us that coming down from Clach Leathad is no fun either!

    Superb videos as always, I always want to ask about the songs you use in your videos for example In 12:50. I live in Scotland and It may be very popular but can't find the artists or songs. if you can share the artists that would be great. Thanks mate

    Hi James, amazing again, a shame you didn’t miss the gloom, but it could have been worse I suppose.
    Did I see a car where you dropped the bike. You could have drove in! 🤣🤣
