If it's Friday then clearly it must be time for the
Friday Matinee, our
regular helping of online streaming mountain video and this week, it
being wintry and all out there, we thought we'd usher in the weekend
with some clips of full-on S
cottish
winter mountaineering to whet your appetite.
To kick things off, here's a nice video of an ascent of the classic
Point Five Gully on
Ben Nevis. Steep and beautiful.
More Point Five and other in this Scottish Winter assortment complete
with proper buried in spindrift moments of authenticity... Makes you
want to go climbing.
And last but not last, proper scary mixed climbing on 'The Secret', Ben
Nevis... Scary, sketchy stuff.
Ah, not quite last, because we've found some amazing footage of the
legendary John Cunningham climbing on the Ben back in 1976, shot,
apparently, by Yvon Chouinard. Check out the motorbike - nice drops -
and the spindrift and enjoy.
