Great new graphics at the start and Lord of the Rings music at the end. I agree with Gerry re the deforestation abomination, even our local Methven Woods is a scene of destruction.
Thanks Jeg - hoping for a nomination for special effects in this years Oscar’s 😂- something different and not something that will be getting added to many videos ! Lol Thanks for watching Murray
From the flat lands of Norfolk if I can’t be in the Highlands I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Burns Night than to enjoy Scotlands Mountains with you and Gerry and a whisky by my side. Thanks for another great video and I’ll raise the glass to you, Murray, your family. Gerry and all your other hill walking/climbing friends. Cheers! 🥃🏴🥾❤️
I’m in Norfolk too ! And I’m in love with Murray’s channel I’m hoping to move back to Scotland soon I left my heart there! So nice to know there’s some kin in Norfolk too ! Old Owl 🦉 Alaya UK
That was brilliant Murray. I did that ridge as a teenager in summer - a much less serious proposition. However I took my springer spaniel on her first serious mountain. I was not prepared for her to take one look at the steepness and decided that the only way up was to run up it. Needless to say she got only so far before realising she wouldn't make it so she pushed off and flew back throught he air landing at my feet. I really can't remember how I got her over it all after that, but it was safely. Unlike my later collie who was light enough to carry in my pack, she was far too solid and heavy.
Twas fun Julian - not too far from where we had our adventure a Few months ago . I resemble a drunk transformer more frequently than I would like !! 😂😂👍
Ohhh my word ! You don’t do things by half do you Murray 😮 this tested my nerves😅 awesome brave men you are. Thank you for sharing this, bless your hearts surrounded on a tooth by cloud nerves of steel, I also am not friends with the mess that foresters leave, petition time ! They also should clear their mess up. 😊 old owl 🦉 alaya uk.
Really enjoyed this. Going up on the rough ground looked awkward to say the least. Coming down it too. I've often walked around there and thought. am I going to conquer the Tooth?" Next time I'm up there. Looks fabulous.. Thanks for sharing.
Stay classy you two. Murray every week the videos are getting better and better.....music and effects plus the adventure of course. Thanks for taking us on your wonderful day out and credit to Gerry as well.
Thanks Tom - my first (and probably last foray into special effects - no green screen being purchased !!lol) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Wow what a journey Murray. What a dodgy climb you and Gerry had, it kept you on the edge of your seat. Especially the final climb round the top rocks. Definitely consentration required there.
Another belter of a video, Murray. You even manage to make 360 footage look good. I think my days are long gone doing that kind of route (too much pie retention), so I always appreciate your womblings, video, and narrative. 👍👍😊😊
Yes Murray!. That's just perfect. Loved that. Not seen it before. I think that type of route is a perfect winter trip. Not too fussy/technical but a nice bit of gully ridge and winter. Just done one on Catstycam in the lakes but it was way too powdery for picking good lines. Thanks again. Lovely film. 👍
The moment Gerry turned up in the Land rover you could sense there was going to be an element of hard-core to the video. The snowy ridge and camera angles gave the video a real cliffhanger feel.
It was a fun day (apart from the forestry part ) - Don’t think Sylvester Stallone has anything to worry about just yet ;) 👍😂 Thanks for watching ATB Murray
A superb video in stunning scenery..Excellent footage of the pair of you going along the edge...I was holding onto my chair incase I fell off....very best wishes
Some very serious climbing there but looks like you enjoyed it, well done. I'm lucky to have this as the view from my accommodation across the Bridge in Old Town but only got as far as the cleared trees above the forest. Great views on a clear day.
Great wee climb lads. Its had a fair heap of snow on it the last couple of weeks. Glad you recalled your climbing skills Murray it didnt take long. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure, filming and editing. Take care Alioban........
Thanks Alioban - my memory eventually returned regards the climbing specifics - twas a grand day on the mountain :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Nice graphics at the intro, Murray! Wow, this one was a nail-biter. Very exciting. So glad you've still got your climbing legs. Gerry's close to doing some ice dangling on this one, so I'm positive he enjoyed it.
Thank you :) probably the first and last time I try the special effects !!lol - I just wanted to add some dragon features to the video :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Wonderful video as always Murray. You do make it look ever so easy in not the easiest of conditions. Though the felled forest area looked a complete mess. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
hi guys great yr out and about love highlands am watching and am no looking sometimes when a see edge a do walk me and hubby done half the west highland way but wish a could do what y do am scaredy cat but great see y bk out a just love yr videos
Awesome! 🤩I really fancy that route, great variety. I was actually up on Schoolhouse ridge last Friday. Beinn a' Bheithir is such a great mountain. And the chip shop in Ballachulish is pretty good too 😋
Totally agree (about the mountain being fine- still to sample some fish and chips from Ballachulish though :) - next time :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Should be in the “Streamy Awards” for Best SFX, with that fancy stuff at the top of the video! 😆 Seriously, looks like a fun technical climb. Take care, and ATB
Well done ! Really enjoyed that ! I remember seeing the Dragons Tooth many years ago en route to the Summit . Don’t think I’d even attempt that in summer 👍
Beautiful views of Scotland's amazing mountains as always, thank you Murray, Gerry. Looks intense in the snow, I can imagine the concentration level you mentioned must be off the scale 😲
What amazing mountaineering skills... I cud feel the concentration and to still make a fantastic video is a credit to you both..thanks lads :) stunning Merky ☘️ off to Glencoe next week for 6 days of MOUNTAINEERING SNOW ❄️ 😀
Wow this was so impressive, well done to you and Gerry Murray. Glad it all came back to you once you started climbing. The snowy ridge you climbed using the 360 cam really could have been the alps, epic scenery😊👌. A throughly enjoyable watch as always, thanks for taking us along😊👍
Thanks Folks - the 360 camera is useful for the climbing stuff as it free up my hands - only issue is the footage isn’t as good as the big camera :( hope you enjoyed the video 👍👍 Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Luvly jubbly! Well done guys. 👏👏Always great to have a route to yourselves despite the crap ground on the approach. Nicely filmed and edited as ever Murray 👍👍
In your expert opinion, if you had to pick one highland location for a town that had the most mountain trails accessible to you from the hotel, which would you choose? (I’ll be traveling without a car taking a bus from Edinburg to the highlands). Love the videos! It’s my favorite “tv” channel.
wow what a route thanks for bringing this too us all .. and you missed the wee shooting star at the beginning just as you turned to go back to the van 😁
Serotonin levels restored after watching the dynamic duo. I know you’re saying it’s grade 1, Murray - but goodness me! I wonder how you film these climbs sometimes. Commercial foresting! Pah. 🙂
Seeing a lot of snowy videos coming out of Scotland in the last couple of weeks... I've got a trip to Ballachulish booked for next week - Inspired by your Beinn a'Chrulaiste video, I wanted to come and get some snowy photos of Buachaille Etive Mòr and the surrounding area. I figured late January would be pretty much guaranteed snow... I'm driving up from the south coast of England on Sunday - Currently, the forecast is Strong winds and heavy rain! :( What a great climb! I'd love to try some of the easier stuff like this. I'm not too great with heights, but I like to test my limits. Even so, that first obstacle would probably get my knees knocking! Big production value on this video - The special effects, the music etc... Did you hire Michael Bay?! ;)
have fun - its been mild this week but probably not long until we get more snow TBH Have a fun trip when you are up Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Impressive video as always, but the most impressive thing was resisting the urge to stick your walking pole into that frozen puddle at the start, amazing! 😆
Hey Murray, greetings from Australia! Love your videos. Please can you tell me why those trees are being harvested? You said it was commercial forest - does that mean it has been grown specifically to be harvested? It seems like such a wild and rugged place to do something like that.
hi Anatta - thats correct - for timber production - pretty much nothing else can grow in these forests as they are so tightly packed ! not a great place for nature anyways Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Hi - not a daft question as I also used to think of that beofre I got into this stuff! The rope is fed through the anchor until its half way point so there are essentially two strands going down the cliff. Once at the bottom you pull one end through (hope that makes sense) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
thats right Stephen it is a RS twin with the 3D module. I just use a selfie stick with it and no helmet mounts Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Outstanding Murray lad. Presume that was a fixed belay anchor you used ... can’t imagine you had to leave gear behind.
I meant abseil anchor, duh

Hi Murray, Is Gerry an ex Royal Marine? He uses terms like Scran, Yomping and Hand Railing. Very much used by RM’s.
how do you get started with climbing hills like that ?
“I thought you said you were wearing the read trousers?!”
I think you’d be better off following the normal path and then traversing back to the start of the route
Cracking route.. might have to have a go when it gets cold again!
