The Best way up BEN NEVIS : Scotland's Highest Mountain via the CMD Arete

You’re right Murray….There are stacks of channels out there doing hill walking but there is only the 1 King in Scotland and he eats Scotch Eggs….yet another fantastic episode.

Thank you for this. I have always wanted to show my son what I achieved in my youth. 1975 I sailed on the 3 masted schooner, Captain Scott out of fort William. We would sail around Highlands and Islands, be dropped of hike for 3 days and meet up with the schooner again. Are final hike was 2 days to the base of Nevis and took your route. Up and the path down. Going down. We had a couple of royal marine cadets who wanted to be the first watch back to the ship. So we jogged where ever possible all the way back to the lock and the ship. I was just 16. Dad said I came back a man. I just know now I struggle to get out of a car without help. But my memories are with me. [it was June 1975. The hot summer in living memory so a lot less snow back then and not as many walking up the path. And no one except our other watches and ourselves. I will be showing my son my achievement with your video.

Good to see someone do videos for pleasure and not just for the money. I think a lot expect to make loads and pack it in when they don't .some do it full time and it must be hard thinking of new videos to make day after day.great video by the way and thanks always for sharing

People like you showing people wonderous things we could never have chance to see in real life, please continue.

Honestly Murray I think you are either a wizard or have a direct line to god. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Just when I think you can’t make a better video, off you trot and hit it out of the ball park. Stunning video this one absolutely loved it. Thank you doesn’t even begin to express my thanks for what you do and bring us, your viewers. Cheers Murray and stay safe

Please, Murray, never give up on your YouTube channel. I so look forward to every Wed for your videos. I love seeing the places in Scotland that I can never get to see for myself, sadly. Keep them coming.

Another spectacular video of a climb in the Scottish mountains in their late winter mantle. These videos bring your viewers a lot of pleasure and are much appreciated.

Spectacular route. This would be a big day for me so appreciate the opportunity to live vicariously through you Murray👍

Bloody brilliant! Your enthusiasm is heart warming Murray. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying how grateful we are that you do do these videos 👍

Thank you Murray, just wow, I have no words really, epically wonderful and beautiful video. Scotland sticking a finger up to the Alps 😁 shouting we are just as beautiful! The CMD Arête is just gorgeous in the snow. 😍

I've been ill and unable to get out into the hills for the last 6 months but wonderful videos like this really help me to get my mountain fix and to give me inspiration & motivation for future days out. Thanks for providing us all with these films which are relaxing, inspiring, and informative. They really help.

Good work. This is the best way up the BenN for those not wishing to tackle the north face itself. It's a long day, the ground is challenging enough make it quite memorable and the views are spectacular.

What a wonderful video! I don’t think anyone minded that ‘Rant’ at the end. Would hardly even call it rant as you had a point and despite the difficulties, you still manage to bring out the positives rather than just complaining! You’re clearly a lovely guy and you inspire me through your positive attitude, the way you appreciate nature (Never taking it for granted) and the effort you put into your videos!

Another awesome video, Murray, and thank you for getting up so early so we can share these stunning views!! Your videos are the best and your TGO award is so much deserved!!🙂🙂

Spectacular, Murray. Definitely worth it, excellent editing. Loved the footage of the broken spectres Thanks so much for making these videos.

Stunning as usual. Your video's are so good ! Cant believe you are not being paid by scotlands tourist industry. The drone footage was absolutely brilliant.

Every Thursday a pop-up appears on my screen in school telling me that you have posted another video. Even if I don't notice it my kids do. As my weekend starts on a Thursday, it is not complete without a Scotland's Mountains video. Looking forward to getting back to them in the summer. There are many Youtube channels on Scotland but there is a very good reason why so many people come back to yours. Keep up the good work. They are so good!

Thanks, Murray. I'll never be able to climb another mountain, but was with you all the way in this video. The only time I've seen Ben Nevis was in the distance, from Cairn Gorm, on a windy and rainy day in late September. The scenery in this video is truly beautiful, even with the fog. As for your rant, yes, you're right to voice those experiences.

Such an excellent video thanks Murray. Absolutely stunning scenery with 360-degree breathtaking views. The drone footage was outstanding.

Never tackled this route as yet murray but it looks spectacular and don.t ever quit doing what you do.i know its not just me saying this but if I ever feel lifes getting to busy and I'm not getting out enough I can always watch a couple of your videos and it resets my focus.you keep going murray 👍
