If it's Friday - and our iFriday iPhone app says that it most
certainly is, then it must be time for the
Friday Matinee, our
regular
helping of
streaming
mountain video.
And this week, inspired by one of our Gallery Round-Up images, we
thought we'd showcase our favourite Scottish ridge, the Aonach Eagach
in Glencoe.
And to get things rolling, here's a blast from the past. Muriel Gray on
the Aonach Eagach for the Munro Show. Clock that fleece, I mean, would
you wear that, in a place where people might see you? A great
introduction to the ridge though.
And here's someone who isn't Muriel Gray on the same ridge on what
looks like a spectacularly nice day albeit with some questionable piped
music.
And finally, you can't beat the Aonach Eagach in winter for epic views
and some interestingly exposed moves. And this, no less, is
Alan Hinkes guiding Trail's Matt Swaine along the snow-covered arete.
Sharpen your crampons...
And that's it for now, plenty more on YouTube - have a great outdoors
weekend.
