    Watching you and Gerry do what you call scramble for me is like watching a good suspense movie the tension builds till i break into a cold sweat as it gets steeper and steeper and you two are chatting away like your on a afternoon stroll but i find it as always absolutely fascinating.

    Hi Murray. Me and my Dad did Stob Dearg the other day and can confirm what Gerry says, the walkers path down is bloody steep! 🤣🤣

    Amazing video. Curved ridge was the route of my childhood, followed by going straight up the front of crowberry tower. Nowadays I prefer north buttress though.

    Wonderful! I did the route in ‘19, the day after Aonach Eagach - what an amazing one-two punch on the last two days of a 12-day Highlands visit. I can vouch for the difficulty of finding the start of the route, as I floundered about solo for a while before stumbling upon it! Thanks for sharing your adventures Murray! They’ll keep me going until I get back, hopefully, next May. ATB from Canada’s left coast!

  • @chrisplatten2293
    @chrisplatten2293 3 года назад

    Always good to do Curved Ridge. 100% agree on finding the start the first time. It does take a bit of looking about, but subsequent ascents are much easier. It was always my 'going home' route after a 2 week trip to Scotland. If you made an early start, you could be back down by lunchtime and just get back to southern end of the A1 by midnight.
    I always felt the crux was a rather polished chimney about a third of the way up. Quite a short section, but the rock had definitely worn smooth and it seemed more iffy (albeit technically simpler) than the steep corner.
    The big corrie used for descent is notorious for late season cornice collapse avalanches, including long run-out events that can almost reach that cottage. When I tried to 'fact check' this, I kept getting hits for the 2009 incident, but am pretty sure there was a long run out almost down to the road at one time.
