Why do you bother to wear a helmet while soloing?
Absolute madness….he's in Scotland without a midge net.
The use of the word exciting shows the work you've made on your mindset and fear. This is very interesting!
Wowzer!!!! Cup of tea deserved!!!! More impressive than the climb is the on point footage AND battery change!!!!!
👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Dudes wearing a helmet. I guess hes a safety kind of guy.
Outstanding video as always Dave
Simply Wow …. 🏴🏴
I guess if you can climb e11 then this is easy but it scared the life out of me watching it. Well done Dave.
Always wear a helmet for safety kids!
u climbed it in 6 mins?
where is the climbing all i see is jabbering
Love it! Was just eating pizza in Fort William and doing some hill walking in the highlands with my wife. We were there for our honeymoon, and she's not much of a climber, but seeing this plus the beautiful sights walking around Glencoe and the Great Glen — I need to go back!
Theres only one thing on this planet more dumb than free diving, and thats free soloing. I respect the challenge and the courage.
Anyone got the why on this? Like just why?
how do you climb with such massive balls?
Incredible. Not just the climb but the fact that you caught it all so beautifully on camera. For those super close shots was the drone buzzing right behind you? Or were you also using one of those insta360 invisible sticks?
Doesn’t count if you have a parachute
I just shat my pants!! Respect my brother! Your life is literally in your hands !! I hope to try climbing shit one day, right now I'm just a regular peasant on the hamster wheel, but I'm optimistic about the future!!! Love your videos brother, you a warrior!
Atleast you have a helmet bro
A helmet incase he falls smart man
Dave Macleod is the real thing……absolutely brilliant.
Incredible video Graham! However, I personally feel the music is a disservice to the ambience of the video. Also, your narration is soothing enough.
Fantastic video….then ruined at the end when he said he was going home for a cup of TEA hahah you deserve a pint for that.
serious balls.
We’ve done some grade 3 scrambles recently and the height and danger is powerful. This is another level but I can feel that feeling of life or death watching him do it and knowing the focus you get on focusing and asking what is the next move
After doing some higher scrambling grades recently I can get a bit of an idea of those moments of fear and where to go next and how strong my survival instincts in your must have been when you get to a position where both up and down are seriously not looking good, on your own. Damn.
Quite exciting = absolutely terrifying. Got it
Awesome
These people are very stup- id
Looks like choss, that dogs run up but we'll done, each to their own
I get dizzy in a pair of thick socks, so all power to you, mate.
I'll just have a wee drink and then a wee walk around my neighbourhood and this guy…"I'll just have a wee drink" and then wee solo climb…
This is the most incredible ben nevis climb
Absolutely fantastic climbing ❤
thank god you took a helmet, hopefully it pays good
